👋 Hello, I’m Pablo!

💻 AI & ML Modeler | Data Scientist | Political Scientist
🎓 Computer Engineer (USB) | PhD Political Science & Applied Statistics (TTU)

🚀 What I Do

I design and build AI and ML models to make sense of our world. My expertise combines data science, political science, and applied statistics to uncover insights from both structured and unstructured data.

  • 🛠️ Data Lifecycle: Collection → Cleaning → Modeling → Advanced Analysis
  • 👥 Mentorship & Teaching: Guided students and professionals through complex methods
  • 📊 Insight to Action: Translate complex analyses into visualizations, reports, and presentations that drive decisions

🧠 Skills & Tools

  • Statistical Methods & ML: Predictive & prescriptive modeling, data mining, NLP, SNA, Deep Learning, Neural Networks
  • Programming: Python 🐍 (pandas, scikit-learn, statsmodels), R 📊 (Tidyverse, Tidymodels, Quanteda)
  • High-Performance Computing: Experience running large-scale analyses on HPC environments
  • Visualization & Communication: Turning data into compelling narratives that answer big research questions

🎯 Research Agenda

My research explores authoritarianism, legislatures, and democratic backsliding:

  • 🔎 How autocrats innovate to consolidate power
  • 🏛️ How regimes adapt and subvert democratic institutions
  • 📉 The survival strategies of authoritarian leaders in challenging contexts
  • 🗳 Electoral systems, and innovations (STAR⭐ voting)

✨ Always open to collaborations, projects, and conversations at the intersection of your discipline and data science.
