About Álvaro

Data Scientist / Data Engineer specialized in working with geospatial data, both vector and raster (aerial imagery, remote sensing, etc.). Over five years of experience working with data in R and Python across all processing phases: ingestion, database management, API architecture and development, analysis, visualization, and modeling.

Recently, I have worked on the conceptualization and development of a large catalog of public and private data, with over 8000 datasets from 20+ providers, ranging from a few megabytes to tens or hundreds of terabytes.

I enjoy working with small, fast-moving teams in intense and productive environments. I find great satisfaction in writing code but also in communicating results. If I had to highlight something about myself, it would be my ability to quickly synthesize complex ideas and adopt new tools.

Alvaro was a pleasure to work with. He quickly understood and assessed the problem to understand if his skill-set matched the requirements and iterated quickly to get a working prototype together which we were able to tweak together before he delivered the final solution to us. Communication was easy and quick. Would happily work with Alvaro in the future.
