About

I am a statistician focusing on research questions related to the urban environment and health. Before joining ISGlobal, I was a professional basketball player for 10+ years. I am also a data science consultant for ALBA Berlin working on sport science and basketball analytics. In my spare time, I am developing several open-source R packages for obtaining and analyzing basketball generated data.

In my blog, I mainly write about using the R programming language to analyze and visualize different kinds of data. Sometimes in English, sometimes in Spanish.
