Decision-support systems with professional engineering standards

With a decade of experience applying operations research across airlines, retail, mining, cargo, and healthcare, I bridge two disciplines that are too often kept separate: mathematical optimization and software engineering. My focus isn't proving a model works once — it's building it to run in production, day after day, the way any serious piece of software should.

At American Airlines, I build large-scale optimization systems that power flight operations, held to the same engineering standards as any other production software.

I hold dual master's degrees in Computer Science (UC San Diego) and Industrial Engineering (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile). I also created SEFOP, an open-source framework for bringing software-engineering discipline to optimization programs, and in 2026 spoke at the Agentic Quality Summit in Atlanta on how agentic development is reshaping how decision-support software gets built.
