Engineer by training (electronics & automation), researcher by trade. Fifteen+ years across energy modeling, control systems at GE Aviation, and sustainability analytics.
Power-market optimization, residential energy demand modeling, and applied machine learning — turning messy real-world data into decisions.
Filter by topic — some projects include a visual walkthrough.
Scraping, OCR digitization, and ML-based vote counting of official E-14 election forms from the Registraduría — parallelized downloads with resumable logs across machines.
Implementations of classic optimization algorithms — linear programming, network flows, and heuristics — as clean, documented Jupyter notebooks.
Modeling and analysis toolkit for battery management and dispatch of grid-scale energy storage systems.
Utilities for taming messy datasets — cleaning, reshaping, validating, and documenting tabular data so downstream analysis starts from solid ground.
No projects in this topic yet — more coming.
