About Me

I'm a data & AI engineer, computational epidemiologist, data scientist, and tech enthusiast passionate about creating end-to-end solutions that bridge complex data with actionable insights. With expertise in computational epidemiology, machine learning, and scalable data systems, I specialize in full-stack AI development—spanning data engineering, model building, and deployment of intelligent applications.

Born in Colombia and currently based in Montreal, I bring a global perspective to my work. While much of my expertise is rooted in healthcare and life sciences, where I leverage AI to explore disease mechanisms and improve patient outcomes, I also tackle projects across diverse domains. From designing robust data pipelines to building user-centric AI applications, I thrive on solving complex challenges and delivering impactful solutions.

In addition to technical development, I provide consulting services, helping organizations integrate data science and AI strategies into their workflows. Whether through advising on architecture, optimizing processes, or creating innovative tools, I aim to empower businesses to harness the full potential of their data.

Driven by curiosity and a commitment to meaningful innovation, I am dedicated to using technology to address real-world challenges and deliver transformative results.
