What I do

Did it work?

Causal inference and experiments. For a leading Latin American beverage bottler, I set the priorities of a causal evaluation engine that measures the sales impact of a commercial initiative every two weeks for 1.5M+ customers (700k in Mexico and 800k in Brazil), using Matrix Completion for Causal Panels with Causal Forest as the benchmark. I also measure the impact of cross-company sales initiatives with difference-in-differences, synthetic control, instrumental variables, and causal forests (results were escalated to the CEO), and I design experiments: treatment and control groups, sample sizes, and randomization.

What comes next?

Time series and forecasting. At Banco Santander I built time series forecasting models along with probability of default and loss given default models for banking risk, using SARIMA, cointegration with error correction, economic cycle indicators, and structural break diagnostics. At KDOA I validated forecasting models for banks, and I started my career building the time series models behind FIEL's quarterly Macroeconomic Forecast.

Is it worth it?

Economic evaluation with data and models. I design demand elasticity models that combine microeconomics, causal inference, and large transactional databases. I validated 50+ predictive and decision models for 10+ banks, some of the largest in the world, and presented findings to the CFO of a major U.S. bank. I also built a value at risk model that values a major Argentine bank's assets and liabilities under configurable scenarios. My economics master's thesis won an award from the Central Bank of Argentina.

How I deliver

Code and AI. I write advanced Python and SQL, build data pipelines and models in Databricks with PySpark and Spark SQL, and follow MLOps practices with Git and Azure DevOps. I design agentic workflows with Claude Code, where an orchestrator delegates work to parallel subagents under human approval, and I'm preparing the Claude Certified Architect - Professional certification (expected December 2026).

Background

Education

Master of Science in Data Science, The University of Texas at Austin (March 2026). Master's in Economics, Universidad de San Andrés, with an award-winning thesis. Bachelor's in Economics, Universidad de Buenos Aires.

Teaching

I taught statistics, econometrics, microeconomics, and macroeconomics at seven Argentine universities, in undergraduate and master's programs. Explaining technical results to people who don't work with models is still part of my job.

Personal Insights

I was born and live in Argentina. I enjoy running, spending time with friends and my girlfriend, caring for my many plants, and cooking (making asados is a passion of mine). When time permits, I love exploring Patagonia's forests and lakes. My girlfriend and I share our home with a dog and a cat, each with its own story of how it ended up with us. My curiosity drives me to keep learning new things, and I'm motivated by financial security and being prepared for life's uncertainties.
