About me
I have a Master of Arts in Political Science from the University of Toronto, a Master of Science in Statistics from the Catholic University of Chile, and an Engineering degree from the University of Chile. I can provide my CV (academic/professional) upon request.
Because of the quantitative nature of my research, I have developed a strong interest in data science and programming. You can check my GitHub profile, where I have organised my open source projects, most of them are related to gravity estimation besides data wrangling with R and data visualisation with Shiny.
R and Shiny training
I offer short courses for groups and individual personalised sessions in my extras. I am certified to teach the Tidyverse and Shiny by RStudio.
Some of my projects
I translated R for Data Science translation into Spanish (see R Para Ciencia de Datos), where I also had to organize the community involved in the translation. I also maintain Open Trade Statistics
