About

Data Analyst at Dow Jones and Economics graduate from the University of Barcelona, now pursuing an MSc in Data Science at the UOC. I build data pipelines and machine learning models end to end, from web scraping and cleaning to supervised and unsupervised modeling, with a focus on moving into data science and ML engineering.

Work Experience

D

Data Analyst

Jan 2025 - Present
Dow JonesBarcelona, Spain
Led B2C analytics for the WSJ semantic search launch, building an engagement dashboard (CTR, MRR, zero-result rate, latency) across web and app that supported the 100% feature rollout. Own the True North dashboard (WSJ, Barron's, MarketWatch), the primary KPI reference for C-suite reviews, with automated data validation across reporting pipelines. Defined A/B test frameworks with Product and Engineering, and build and migrate dbt transformation models on Snowflake orchestrated via Airflow DAGs, introducing versioning and automated testing to analyst-owned pipelines.
U

Data Analyst

Mar 2024 - Aug 2024
UnifarcoBarcelona, Spain
Built dashboards (SQL, Python, Looker Studio) tracking website, podcast, social media, and email engagement to guide marketing campaigns, design priorities, and executive product strategy. Analyzed pharmacy pricing via Google Shopping and web scraping to detect contract breaches (+15% discounting), and prospected 200+ pharmacies using location and digital criteria to support sales enforcement and expansion strategy.
D

Corporate Banking Operations Intern

Dec 2022 - Sep 2023
Deutsche BankBarcelona, Spain
Reviewed 300+ client profiles and analyzed transactions for KYC/CDD under EU AML directives, detecting red flags across high-risk geographies and transaction patterns. Worked with compliance officers, auditors, and client advisors to escalate cases, leading to blocked accounts, regulatory filings, and fraud prevention.
L

Search Data Quality Analyst

Nov 2020 - Sep 2021
LionbridgeRemote
Evaluated and labeled large-scale Microsoft Bing search datasets to optimize algorithmic relevance, applying quality metrics (precision, recall, regional accuracy) and documenting guidelines to support supervised learning model improvements.

FilmAffinity ML Pipeline — Random Forest feature importance

FilmAffinity ML Pipeline

Built an end-to-end pipeline from scratch: a Selenium scraper that gets past Cloudflare and infinite-scroll pagination to collect 4,200+ titles, a reproducible 5-step cleaning pipeline (down to 1,648 records), and three analyses — a Random Forest rating classifier (ROC-AUC 0.87) with leakage-aware feature engineering and stratified cross-validation, K-means clustering, and a Mann-Whitney U hypothesis test.

PDFAlive Project Screenshot

PDFAlive

Turned dense PDFs into a conversational study tool: a RAG pipeline (Next.js 13) with recursive text splitting, text-embedding-ada-002 embeddings, and PineconeDB semantic retrieval, plus chat-history condensation that rewrites queries to preserve context across multi-turn sessions.

PharmaGeoMap Project Screenshot

PharmaGeoMap

Mapped 25,000 Spanish pharmacies into an interactive tool for client segmentation: a Python scraper captured location, contact, and operational metadata from government sources with dynamic content handling and validation, feeding a MapBox GL JS interface with clustering and filtering over the geospatial distribution.
