I'm a data specialist with 7+ years of experience in leveraging data to drive businesses forward. I am passionate about helping make data-driven decisions that lead to growth and success.

I was born at 345.73 ppm CO2 By day, I solve complex problems with data; by night, I’m a husband and a father to two boys. In between, I’m usually being outsmarted by my Spanish Water Dog Pancho.

Currently at Tecnica y Avance, I specialise in business through data-driven decision-making.

Whether I’m optimising back-office operations or resolving intricate inventory issues, I maintain a process-driven approach and a keen eye for detail to ensure every workflow is seamless and results-oriented.
