Featured Projects & Initiatives
This collection showcases key projects that demonstrate my analytical capabilities, technical expertise, and commitment to data-driven solutions. Each initiative represents a unique challenge where I've applied statistical methods, programming skills, and domain knowledge to generate meaningful insights and create practical impact.
Supqua is a patent-pending agtech and climatetech serving smallholder farmers, agri-SMEs, buyers, and certifiers. We bridge the data gap for shaded crops like coffee, cacao, and tea. By combining machine learning with farmer-collected imagery and automated monitoring, we generate verified field-level insights where satellite imagery falls short. To make this information actionable, we provide data products and a highly customized AI chatbot that allows farmers to leverage their own data to improve farm management.
Proposal to establish a public innovation and experimentation laboratory for Bogotá's municipal government to address complex urban challenges through evidence-based policy experimentation and creative problem-solving within the bureaucratic structure. The laboratory would operate through a six-phase cycle from problem diagnosis to pilot implementation and experimental evaluation, with a small professional team collaborating with national and international academia to generate rigorous evidence for policy decisions, enhance transparency, and position the mayor's office as a leader in public sector innovation.
This comprehensive spatial analysis of the 2016 Colombian peace plebiscite results, examines how voting patterns related to factors like conflict exposure, urban-rural divides, poverty, age demographics, and political alignments between Santos and Uribe supporters. The analysis challenges oversimplified narratives about the narrow "No" victory (by only 0.4% margin), arguing that common explanations focusing solely on victims supporting peace or rural-urban divides are misleading generalizations, while introducing original variables like "urban functionality" and age analysis to provide more nuanced insights into Colombia's political polarization.
