Description

Does your company have data but no decisions? I turn operational data into a competitive advantage.

I am a Petroleum Engineer (MSc.) with 20 years of experience, retrained as a Data Strategist. For 13 years, I operated over 7,000+ wells in Cerro Dragón (Argentina), leading waterflooding projects and supervising over 700 wells under water injection. Today, I apply that operational experience to data science from EnergyTech Consulting.

WHAT I DO:

→ Applied Machine Learning: predictive models that work in the real world

→ Advanced Power BI with Deneb: 100% customized dashboards with Vega-Lite code

→ Data Governance: data catalogs, data quality monitoring, frameworks that scale

→ Training and transfer: workshops, technical coaching, team training

CLIENTS AND RESULTS:

→ Pan American Energy: ML PoC — 851 wells processed, 30 patterns designed

→ JTI (Americas): comprehensive data governance project leadership

→ ILO (United Nations): 100% custom dashboards in Deneb

→ Iberian energy sector: energy efficiency consulting and electricity market analysis

January 2021 - Today (5 years and 7 months)
Marbella, AN, Spain
I founded EnergyTech Consulting to solve a problem I saw for 13 years in the field: companies have data but lack someone who speaks the language of operations and algorithms simultaneously.

Today, we lead data science, advanced BI, and governance projects for energy companies, industries, and international organizations.

FEATURED PROJECTS:

→ Pan American Energy (Oil & Gas, Argentina): design and execution of Machine Learning PoC for waterflooding optimization — 851 wells processed, 30 patterns designed, Monte Carlo analysis with economic cutoff

→ JTI — Japan Tobacco International (Americas markets): comprehensive leadership of a Data Governance project — data catalog, data quality monitoring, training and knowledge transfer workshops for internal teams

→ ILO — International Labour Organization (United Nations): development of dashboards with 100% customized visualizations in Power BI with Deneb / Vega-Lite

→ Iberian energy sector: consulting on energy efficiency, feasibility studies for renewable projects, electricity market analysis (distribution, billing, surplus compensation)

→ Grupo Pulet (solar energy, Spain): BI consulting for the sales department — 50% reduction in second sales visits and 15% improvement in sales closing through monitoring dashboards and process optimization
