I'm a Ph.D. student at the Data Engineering Systems group led by Prof. Tilmann Rabl. Before joining HPI, I completed my master's in Information Systems Management at TU Berlin. Before that, I did a bachelor's in Industrial Engineering at Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá - Colombia. I also have industry experience in analytics, data science, and data engineering.
