Freelance computer engineer, with 10+ years of experience. Specialized in data projects: data development in Python and R and cloud infrastructure. Working as an individual contributor or with my team (skilled freelance data scientists and web devs).

I've worked on big impact projects across different companies and sectors, such as the Mortality Monitoring for the Spanish Government during the COVID-19 crisis.

My speciliaty is to lead and develop Data projects (ML, Big Data) based in Python and Cloud (AWS, GCP) infrastructure.

I have strong skills on Python for Data (pandas, scikit-learn, numpy), for Web (flask), SQL, data visualization, API development and infrastructure.

R Shiny Developer - Marketing analytics and optimization dashboard

Roya

Goods & Retail

< 10 team member

Create a demo platform for the product. The client was a NY based startup with a strong analytical product for optimizing marketing processes in big companies. This included:
  • Code refactorization, from a local version to a production one for a R Shiny dashboard
  • Re-styling to switch to a more modern interface, matching the company guidelines
  • Wrap everything behind a user-control
  • Server Setup from scratch using Digital Ocean cloud provider
Main technologies: R, Shiny, Shiny Server, flexdashboard, Python, Flask, Linux, nginx.

Data Scientist - Preventive maintenance on wind generators

Atlantica Yield

Energy, Water & Environment

1000-5000 team member

The main objective was the development of a heating alarm system on the electric transformers installed in multiple wind plants in South-America. The project included a detailed Exploratory Data Analysis, data inconsistency detection, and the heating model. The biggest challenge was the feature engineering, to take into account the physical rules and the heat behavior over time.
Main technologies: Python, Jupyter Notebooks.
Modeling techniques: GAM.

Senior R Developer and Data Scientist - Industry production planning

Reny Picot

Goods & Retail

500-1000 team member

The objective was to propose quantities to be produced per product to minimize losses due to stock breakage or expiration. We develop a demand forecasting model, a stock evolution simulator and a web panel to view and download the results.
Main technologies: R, Shiny.
Modeling techniques: simulation and optimization techniques.

Tech Lead - IoT systems management application

Johnson Controls

Architecture & Civil Engineering

5000-10.000 team member

Development of a management application for large IoT systems in buildings to measure supplies use, temperature, air quality and others. Integrated in Metasys, a world’s leading building automation system.

Main technologies: Python, Flask, React.js, PostgreSQL.

Spanish Mortality Monitoring - Tech Lead (ML and Backend)

Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) - Spanish public health organization

Government and Public Services

500-1000 team member

Automation of the process of mortality data ingestion from civil registries, processing, modeling and generating reports and alerts from MOMO. The objectives were to alert and measure excesses and attribute mortality to events such as heat waves or flu.
MOMO received a lot of attention during the Coronavirus health crisis and it was a key project to estimate the real impact of the epidemic on Spanish mortality.

During the health crisis, I also developed the ISCIII data publication and monitoring panel, and the calculation of the reproducibility index by region, which was reported to other organizations.

Main technologies: R, Python, Docker, Flask, Flexdashboard.
Modeling techniques: GAM, mixed-effects models, survival analysis.

Tech Lead - Data Warehouse and dashboard for e-scooter sharing service

Acciona Mobility

Automotive & Vehicle Manufacturing

500-1000 team member

Design, develop and deploy the Data Warehouse to analyze the e-scooter sharing quality service, follow the vehicles incidences, the customers behavior and take strategic decisions. I led the tech team.
The goals we achieved:
  • Connect different data sources, such as the application backend and the bike log system in BigQuery, apply the business logic and register all the main KPIs in the DWH.
  • Automatize all the ingestion processes involved in a robust pipeline in Google Cloud Platform.
  • Design and develop an interactive dashboard for different kind of users (Quality, Business and Marketing teams), including data restriction access depending on the role.
  • Mentor and train the client’s internal team to maintain and evolve the system.
Main technologies: Python, Flask, Dash, PostgreSQL, GCP.

Tech Lead - Transit analysis in physical stores

Johnson Controls

Industry & Mechanical Engineering

1000-5000 team member

Development of a system to analyze people transit in physical spaces through cameras. My main objectives were:
  • Set up the infrastructure, the store management websites and the cameras and the transit analysis dashboard.
  • Create the heatmaps on the store plans based on the information received from the cameras.
  • Design and develop a dashboard to analyze the hot and cold areas, the user behavior and the main KPIs across the stores.
Main technologies: R Shiny, Python Flask, Bootstrap, Google Cloud (Compute Engine, Cloud Functions and BigQuery).
Modeling techniques: trigonometry, minimization of error functions.

ML Engineer - Interaction prediction in email marketing

MDirector

Internet & IT

500-1000 team member

Development of a prediction system for openings and clicks in an email marketing system.
The objectives:
  • Avoid sending to users with almost zero probabilities of clicks and opens
  • Increase the reputation of the system with the email provider
  • Optimize the income of the daily schedule automatically assigning emails to users
Main technologies: Python, Docker, AWS, MySQL
Modeling techniques: random forests, linear optimization.

ML Engineer and GCP Expert - Google Ads performance tuning

OrbitalAds

Internet & IT
