About me
I'm a Business Analyst based in Lima, Peru, with a dual background: Mechanical Engineering and Analytics for Business. That mix gives me a particular take on data: rigorous like an engineer, strategic like a business analyst.
I currently work remotely for CQ Fluency (New Jersey) building Power BI dashboards and Power Platform automations. Before that I led business intelligence at Valia (Delaware) and product analytics at Ove Decors (Montreal).
What I love most: simplifying the complex. Turning big problems into manageable steps, clear metrics and decisions that drive impact. Winner of the HEAD Competition (Mohawk College, 2024) and the NASA Space Apps Lima (2021).
