Profile
Economist with a Master's in Economics dedicated to data science. Over 6 years across public
and private institutions developing demand forecasts, default risk models, and demographic
analysis. I cover the full workflow, supported by AI agents: data cleaning
(Python/pandas, SQL, DuckDB), statistical modeling (R, Python — scikit-learn,
statsmodels), and dashboard design (Power BI, Flask, Streamlit). My strength
lies in estimation, combining econometrics and machine learning: Bayesian inference, survival
models, and time series forecasting.
Keywords: Causal inference · Impact evaluation · Risk scoring models · Customer segmentation · Forecasting · Executive dashboards · Process automation.
