About Me

avatar

I am a Peruvian geographer/data scientist enrolled in the fantastic Erasmus+ Copernicus Master in Digital Earth program. I work on global EO problems and try to solve them using GEE/Python/R (and somethimes a bit of C++). In my spare time, I teach coding to anyone who needs it and collaborate on a variety of open-source projects. If you want to learn more about me, please see my cv.
