Summary
I have been working in R for more than 10 years as a data scientist/analyst and teacher. I have experience in R package development, Shiny apps/dashboards and Machine Learning. In different projects I have worked with other languages such as Python, SQL and web programming languages. All my work is done under version control with git. I have recently completed the Master in Gender and Equality Policies at FLACSO-Uruguay. I am available for short-term freelancing projects or on longer-term consulting contracts.
