About me
Mathematician with a solid analytical background and a passionate interest in the applications of Mathematics and Computer Science, specialised in data analysis, machine learning, and visualisation.
I have developed my career in the marketing intelligence industry, in scientific research, and in education. I have worked for Nielsen, the leading company in media and marketing analytics in the US. My professional journey from Mathematics to applied sciences has prompted me to develop an efficient level of problem abstraction, a practical mindset, and an adaptive taste for interdisciplinarity.
I recently enhanced my training with the MSc. Geospatial Technologies, focused on Geographic Information Systems, Spatial Data Science, and Programming. In addition to my background and experience, I have acquired a deep interest in humanities and languages.
Some insights
-
Mathematics & Statistics
I have a strong background in pure and applied Mathematics. After almost a decade of rigurous studying Mathematics, I have developed a good level of abstraction and a creative mind when dealing with any problem. I have conducted research as part of financed research programs in my home country (Mexico) and abroad (Spain). Moreover I have experience in scientific environments, as I have presented oral and written works in my research path. In my bachelor's thesis project, I studied Differential Topology and in my personal projects and work experience I mastered applied topics, including Probability and Statistics.
-
Machine Learning
I posses a strong understanding and +3 years experience on Machine Learning theory and methods. In my work experience at Nielsen I conducted data modelling tasks using regression methods. A key ingredient implied a deep understanding of the models used and the main methods to tailor data accordingly and present insightful results. Furthermore, I formally conducted a core study of Deep Learning and other state-of-the-art algorithms as part of my postgraduate studies.
-
Programming
In the past +5 years, I have been able to develop my programming skills in different contexts. As a student of the BSc. Physics during two years, I was first exposed to Linux environment and to data analysis and processing with Python as part of daily tasks in the lab. Lately, as part of my postgraduate studies, I have acquried a strong knowledge of ETL and modelling methods using Python, SQL, and R. Furthermore, I posses experience in Web Technologies using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

Geospatial advocate
Since I was a teenager, I have been deeply engaged in understanding our natural and social environments. I was able to represent my country in the International Geography Olympiad twice (Cracow, Poland 2014 and Tver, Russia 2015). Recently, I developed my technical skills in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in integration with Web Technologies and Machine Learning, as part of my postgraduate studies. I am passionate abobut technology and its power to study and solve spatial problems.

Languages enthusiast
I have always loved to learn languages. My keen interest in them has opened me the opportunity to make research stays and studies in several countries (Spain, UK, Germany). I consider myself a strong defensor of linguistic and cultural diversity.
