About

I'm a Data Scientist with an unusual background: I hold a degree in Psychology with a specialization in Neurosciences (Universidad Favaloro), and I'm currently completing a Master's in Artificial Intelligence at UdeSA. That combination shapes how I design products and research.

My core interest is the intersection of AI and mental health, using machine learning to make sense of brain signals, clinical data, and behavioral patterns. I've co-authored indexed publications in Neuroscience and Behavioral Science, and I actively teach AI for psychology and clinical settings.

Today I work as Neuroscience and AI Specialist at Humai, leading educational strategy and advanced AI training. I'm also a freelance data analyst at Universidad Favaloro's Vocational Psychology department, which keeps me close to both production systems and applied research.

Technically I live in the space between Data Engineering (pipelines, dbt, Airflow), Applied ML (PyTorch, LLMs, RAG), and product (Next.js, FastAPI). I care about code that ships, and documentation that helps the next person understand why.
