A researcher working at the seam of spatial data and development economics.
With an MSc. in Development Economics, I've done most of my work as a consultant with the Inter-American Development Bank. I've built remote sensing based sub-municipal databases for the Amazon, and I am now working on the spatial (re)organization of international trade. My focus in projects is for the data to speak for itself, often striving to make data alive.
Before La Sorbonne in Paris, I studied economics at Tec de Monterrey, where I specialised in data science for the public good and co-authored work on inequality, taxation, and the economic value of care. My current research combines remote sensing, machine learning, and applied econometrics to recover geographic detail in places where official data is thin.
I work in Spanish, English, French, and slowly including German.
