Welcome stranger!
To make this portfolio journey less boring, I merged my love for music with my love for data product delivery.

Professional

Not limited to a single genre: I'm an engineer with a strong background in statistics, management and a combo of Agile + Lean Six Sigma methodology. I have dedicated my career to positions as Machine Learning Engineer, Data Engineer, Data Scientist and LSS Engineer in startups and big techs. I have tackled a broad range of problems.

Personal

I like strumming chords with people: finding beauty in interdisciplinary science and getting to know new perspectives of the world.

My stack: my instruments

I have used an extensive array of tools to deliver value.

Python

For application development with machine learning (scikit-learn for fast prototyping, pytorch for NN), data science (scipy) and support libraries to help scale the apps (eg: dataclass, pytest, asyncIO, multiprocessing, prefect).

BigQuery + Data Mesh

For analytical SQL-based queries in the range GB to TB of data, cataloguing and auditing to facilitate usage by other teams.

AWS

My experience: my repertoire

Prioritizing flexibility in exchange of specificity, I have worked in an assortment of positions in data science.

Visual Product Recommendation System

Recommendations systems based on events (clicks, prints), texts and other structured data for simpler and faster delivery using Tf-Idf and Logistic Regression.

Scoring systems

Ranking based on multifactorial data for startups, using statistical distributions and transformations to represent abstract ideas into absolute numbers.
