I am transitioning to Data Science, improving my skills in R, Machine Learning, Data Visualization and now engaging in the NASA Datanauts program (I’m super excited about this!). In a collaborative environment you use NASA’s data and tools and improve your data science skills. I’m also involved in R-Ladies, a worldwide organization whose mission is to promote gender diversity in the R community, as co-organizer of the Buenos Aires chapter.
Originally I studied Economics, but only worked in that field briefly in the Academia. Right when I finished my studies I took a job at Equifax Uruguay where I discovered Data Science and worked in that field for 4 years.
I have a solid experience designing and developing bespoke analytical solutions, mostly in the Financial Sector. I have worked directly with the Risk and Marketing Managers of the largest institutions in Uruguay and Paraguay (South America) in the Financial, Telco, Retail and Govern verticals, also providing training to other parts of the organizations. In that period I gained a lot of experience in communicating with diverse collaborators and I enjoyed developing strategies to solve complex analytical problems.
