From the moment I curiously poked at a seemingly lifeless bee, only to be met with a startled sting, to the philosophy elective courses I decided to take during my college years (where I was often the only engineer among my classmates), I have consistently been captivated by the desire to understand the world around me. This insatiable curiosity has continued to manifest throughout my career - whether it was pursuing Scrum Master and Product Owner certifications at BCG or taking advanced computer science courses alongside my MBA at Stanford, I've always been driven to expand my analytical skills and fuel my passion for technology. Alongside this intellectual curiosity, I find great fulfillment in tackling challenges with a structured, methodical approach. Incorporating the mentality of “one bite at a time”, I was able to transform the idea of building Colombia's first public analytics agency into a thriving reality, now employing over 100 individuals and empowering the public sector with data-driven insights. This same structured mindset also proved invaluable during the COVID-19 pandemic, as I developed a nationwide platform to track testing capacity across 80 nationwide laboratories. This allowed the government to better manage resources and increase the country's daily testing capacity from 450 to 7,000 tests in just two weeks.Underpinning my intellectual curiosity and structured approach is a deep-seated commitment to fostering compassionate connections within my teams. From small coffee chats in the office to weekend hikes I strive to create an environment where colleagues are not just coworkers but an extended family to me.
