Información del candidato
Hello, I’m Kenny, an Industrial Engineer with a Master’s degree in Operations Research and Statistics. I have developed expertise in optimization techniques, programming languages, and data analysis, which I have applied in different environments.
During my early years, I worked as a research engineer in the R&D department of Integra S.A, where I developed the ability to design and solve optimization problems using mathematical programming and artificial intelligence techniques. I also applied data analysis to establish data models and provide insights, which helped me develop a sense of responsibility and discipline.
I later worked as a monitor and facilitator in the government program MisiónTIC 2022, where I helped beneficiaries learn programming concepts in Python, Java, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Django.
As an independent consultant, I have developed several projects, including an LMS platform for UNEP, a database management platform, and two optimization programs for decision-making processes. Through these experiences, I have developed strong communication and interpersonal skills, which enable me to work effectively in multidisciplinary teams, present research findings to diverse audiences, and teach programming concepts to students.
My ultimate goal is to leverage my skills and knowledge in data science and data analysis to make a significant impact in the industry. I believe in the power of data-driven insights to drive innovation and improve decision-making processes. I am excited to collaborate with a team of professionals and contribute my expertise to help drive the growth and success of the organization.
