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.

My work spans web development, data analysis, and spatial computing, with a particular focus on creating tools that make complex information accessible. From building interactive dashboards for policy simulation to developing real-time APIs for market analysis, I bridge the gap between data and decision-making.

With experience in R, JavaScript, Python, and modern web frameworks like Svelte and React, I bring both analytical depth and technical versatility to every project. I've worked with organizations ranging from universities to startups, always aiming to deliver solutions that are as user-friendly as they are technically sound.

When I'm not coding, you can find me exploring new technologies, contributing to open-source projects, or thinking about how tech can address social challenges. I'm always interested in connecting with people working at the intersection of technology, social science, and public policy.
