Open to opportunities

Currently seeking roles in biopharma and data science where I can apply my expertise in upstream bioprocessing, cell culture development, and data-driven process optimization.

Upstream Process Development Bioprocess Data Scientist Cell Culture Scientist Process Analytical Technology (PAT) Bioreactor Scientist

I'm a bioengineer and PhD candidate in Biochemical Sciences at the Instituto de Biotecnología, UNAM, specializing in upstream bioprocessing and mammalian cell culture (CHO) for therapeutic recombinant protein production. My research focuses on optimizing cell productivity in fed-batch and perfusion bioreactors, applying metabolic analysis and process analytical technology (PAT) to drive data-informed decisions in biopharmaceutical manufacturing.

Beyond the bench, I build computational tools and data science pipelines — from bioreactor simulators to offline-ready PWAs — that bring analytical power directly into the biosafety cabinet. I work with Python, pandas, scikit-learn, and statistical modeling to extract actionable insights from complex bioprocess datasets, bridging wet-lab science with software engineering to accelerate bioprocess development.
