ABOUT ME

I'm a political scientist with a Master's degree in research methods, passionate about the intersection of technology and social impact. Currently based in Chile, I'm exploring new opportunities to apply my unique blend of academic rigor and technical expertise.

With over two decades of experience in Linux and Unix-based systems since 2001, I've developed deep expertise in Python, R, and Ruby. My work sits at the crossroads of political research and software development, where I leverage data science and coding to tackle complex research questions and build meaningful solutions.

I'm driven by the potential of open-source technology to create positive change. Whether developing tools for data analysis, contributing to collaborative projects, or designing systems that serve the public good, I believe technology should be accessible and purposeful.

I'm always interested in connecting with fellow researchers, developers, and organizations working on projects that matter. If you're looking for someone who combines methodological expertise with hands-on technical skills and a genuine commitment to making a difference, let's explore what we can build together.
