Optimization, engineered like production software.

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. I'm equally effective as the deepest individual contributor on a hard problem or directing a team of engineers to deliver an end-to-end system.

At American Airlines, I build large-scale optimization systems that power flight operations — designed and shipped with the same engineering rigor as any production software, not treated as one-off research code.

I hold dual master's degrees in Computer Science (UC San Diego) and Industrial Engineering (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile), and created SEFOP, an open-source framework for bringing software-engineering discipline to optimization programs. In 2026, I spoke at the Agentic Quality Summit in Atlanta on bridging operations research and production-grade engineering.
