Tecnológico de Monterrey · on exchange at Wilfrid Laurier University
About
I'm a Data Science and Mathematics Engineering student at Tecnológico de Monterrey,
currently on academic exchange at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario.
My work sits where rigorous mathematics meets applied problems: over the past two years
I've built models for industrial and non-profit partners while training in the theory
underneath them.
I'm preparing applications for master's programs in mathematics, with interests in
analysis, algebra, optimization, and
topological data analysis. Alongside that I write and record
El Cuaderno de Euler, a Spanish-language mathematics channel.
Selected Work
Topological Data Analysis for Stockout Prediction
Ternium
A study of whether persistent homology adds predictive signal to raw-material stockout
forecasting at one of Latin America's largest steel producers. I built topological feature
pipelines over multivariate supply time series and tested them against a strong tabular
baseline across six independent evaluation protocols. The result was negative and I reported
it as such: the baseline reached AUC 0.84, and topological features failed
to improve on it under any of the six evaluations. Establishing that cleanly — rather than
tuning until the desired result appeared — was the substance of the work.

Planogram Optimization with a Genetic Algorithm
OXXO
Shelf-space allocation for Mexico's largest convenience-store chain. The problem is
combinatorial: assign products to shelf positions under category-adjacency, facing-count and
physical-capacity constraints while maximizing expected margin. I modeled it as a constrained
permutation problem and solved it with a genetic algorithm using custom crossover and repair
operators that keep every candidate solution feasible, rather than penalizing infeasibility
after the fact.

Secure Identity and Access System
Casa Monarca
An identity and access-management system for a migrant shelter in Monterrey that handles
sensitive personal records. Role-based access control separates coordinators, staff and
volunteers; two-factor authentication supports both TOTP and WebAuthn; credentials are stored
hashed rather than in plaintext; and every read or write against a beneficiary record is
committed to an append-only audit log, so access to protected data is reconstructible after
the fact.
