About
Engineer and physicist. Currently working in applied AI engineering at Yavendio.
In past lives I was an ML engineer at Yape and Spatialise, a geophysicist at PUCP-INRAS, and a grad student in condensed matter physics at the Balseiro Institute.
About
I'm originally from the highlands of Peru and spent some good years in Argentine Patagonia.
In my spare time I enjoy cycling; playing guitar, cello, and piano; and exploring other forms of art. Lately I've grown curious about the investment world too.
