About Me

I’m a Data Scientist and Mechanical Engineer, currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Advanced Precision Engineering at Hochschule Furtwangen in Germany.

Alongside my academic journey, I work at Bosch Rexroth, where I design and implement Docker-based ETL pipelines and real-time monitoring systems for hydraulic systems. My role focuses on connecting physical systems with intelligent software solutions, contributing to the future of industrial automation.

My story begins in Peru, where I graduated top of my class in Mechanical Engineering from the Universidad Nacional de San Agustín de Arequipa (UNSA). My academic excellence earned me the prestigious Beca Presidente del Perú, a national scholarship awarded to students with the highest performance in the country.

Later, I was selected as one of 100 finalists out of 16,000 applicants to join Freeport-McMoRan, where I applied Machine Learning for predictive maintenance (Remaining Useful Life) across global mining operations—combining data science with high-stakes, real-world engineering.

My work bridges engineering and intelligent systems, with a strong emphasis on practical implementation and scalable solutions. I specialize in:

  • Machine Learning & Time-Series Modeling
    Predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and signal analysis using Python, PyTorch, and scikit-learn.

  • Dockerized ETL Pipelines & Cloud Integration
    Modular, real-time data pipelines built with Dagster, orchestrated in Docker, and deployed on cloud platforms like Azure.

  • Industrial Communication & Monitoring (OPC UA)
    Design and implementation of robust monitoring architectures using OPC UA for data acquisition in manufacturing systems.

  • Technology Stack
    Python, PostgreSQL, Power BI/Grafana, Git, Azure ML — integrated into reliable and reproducible workflows.

I aim to pursue a Ph.D. in Robotics, Control Systems, or Industrial AI, developing impactful technologies that bridge data and physical systems.
