Work experience

Data Scientist @ NPCx, Inc

Feb. 2023 - July 2025Implemented key features in a cross-platform (Windows, GNU/Linux) pipeline for automatically cleaning and filling motion capture data of three-dimensional markers, and solving the skeleton of the performing actor. This involved formulating and solving large-scale non-linear least-squares optimization problems and designing and integrating deep learning architectures (Neural Networks, LSTM, Transformer, Encoder-Decoder, among others).

Python Developer @ CANDOIT Engineering & Technology

Nov. 2022 - Feb. 2023Developed and optimized APIs and microservices (Python, Docker, Oracle SQL, Flask) for weather forecasting at the Argentine National Weather Service.

Postdoctoral Researcher @ Rochester Institute of Technology

Jan. 2020 - Oct. 2022Designed and performed scalable three-dimensional simulations (∼ 5000 cores) of magnetized fluids in strong gravitational fields, making use of Top500 supercomputers (Frontera, BlueWaters, Perlmutter). Acquired proficiency with GNU/Linux and High-Performance Computing with C, C++ and Python, MPI, OpenMP and CUDA parallelization, among others.

Ph.D. Fellow @ Instituto Argentino de Radioastronomía

April 2015 - Jan. 2020Solved several physical modeling and data processing problems with analytical and computational techniques (C, Python, Make, Bash, Fortran). Acquisition of radio-astronomical data, manipulation of large datasets (∼ TB; Globus), compilation of specialized algorithms for data reduction, and development of data processing pipelines (GNU/Linux, Python, Docker).

Teaching @ Universidad Nacional de La Plata

April 2015 - Jan. 2020Teaching assistant and head of practical assignments for advanced Math and Physics.
