Biography

Data Scientist and researcher. Polyvalent scientist and engineer, with a focus on solving problem by automation and data-driven decision making.

PhD in engineering and computer vision. During my PhD, I focused on 3D computer vision for chronic wound monitoring; more specifically, on how to combine 3D models and thermography to provide metrics for chronic wound assessment (multimodal assessment); especially in an accessible and practical way.

I also have extensive experience in obtaining information and value beyond traditional approaches; and handling various data sources: Psychometrics, Geolocalization, 3D Modeling, Thermography, 2D Imaging.

Data Scientist - Credit Risk Modeling Specialist
Mar 2015 – Oct 2018 Lima, Peru

Helped lenders in Africa, Asia and the Americas make better decisions to serve people with no credit history, mainly micro-entrepreneurs. To do this, I built customer-specific and regional credit risk models with various alternative data sources, including digital psychometric questionnaires, metadata, geolocation (GIS) and digital presence.

  • Feature engineering.
  • Development, training and evaluation of predictive models.
  • Implementation of statistical and machine learning models.
  • Model reporting and model performance evaluation.
  • R & D tasks: methods for unbalanced data problems, model interpretability, and inclusion of new data sources.

Software: R, Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, AWS, IBM Watson

 
 
 
 
 
Geo-Intelligence Consulting Analyst
Jan 2014 – Mar 2015 Lima, Peru

Helped Peruvian retail and financial companies understand their customers and find better opportunities by exploiting big data and especially geolocation information (GIS).

  • Participation in the definition of the problem and exploration of the client company’s needs.
  • Technical support in the formulation of proposals.
  • GIS data analysis. HeatMaps, and Trade Area.
  • Site Selection based on spatial data analysis to open new Banking Agencies and Retail Stores.
  • Resource Allocation improvements with Geospatial Analysis.
