I am a highly trained professional with a Ph.D. related to statistical signal estimation and control, providing me with a robust theoretical and practical foundation. Now, I seek to apply my knowledge and skills in the industry, transitioning from my experience in academia. My background as a university lecturer has allowed me to develop excellent communication skills, both in explaining complex concepts and in working collaboratively. Additionally, I possess fundamental data analyst skills, including proficiency in Python, SQL, and Excel. My academic experience has instilled in me a methodical and rigorous approach to my work, which I believe is a valuable asset in data analysis.
