Data Scientist

Having a background in Applied Mathematics, I have spent the last seven years understanding human behavior through data. Currently, I’m a Data Scientist working for Facebook, and previously interned at Airbnb. I got my MS in Data Science from Columbia University, and I also worked in the marketing and banking industries as a Statistician.

I’m passionate about democratizing knowledge in a way that is friendly for everyone, no matter their background. Consequently, I’m the host of datos netos, a podcast in Spanish in which I talk with experts about social phenomena from a quantitative perspective.
