Hello! I'm Luis, an Economist and Data Scientist with a background in Economics and a Master's in Data Science from the Barcelona School of Economics. My journey into the world of data began during my undergraduate studies and has continued up until my ongoing Masters's program in the field. I discovered my passion for statistics, machine learning, and their applications in finance and economics. Now, I'm eager to blend my analytical skills with my interest in finance to pursue a career as a hybrid analyst, where I can leverage data to drive decision-making in financial and business contexts.

I enjoy collaborating on team projects and learning from experienced coders to adopt best practices. While I'm not a computer scientist, I value understanding how algorithms work rather than treating them as black boxes. Programming allows me to materialize my ideas into code, particularly for analyzing data in finance and business contexts. The majority of my repositories contain projects that I have worked on over the past year.

• Languages & Tools: Python, R, SQL
• Areas of Expertise: Machine & Deep Learning, Data Visualization, Financial Econometrics, Statistics, Natural Language Processing

• Master's Thesis: Do ECB Executive Members Use Conceptual Metaphors in Their Communications About Inflation? How Do They Use Them?
• Pokemon: Predictive model estimating a Pokemon's probability of winning in combat. Crafting and implementation of personalized library of functions.
• Deep Learning prediction: Binary classification and regression using deep learning algorithms. KNN, SVM, Ensemble models and (Feed Forward) Neural Networks.
• PGA vs LIV: Analysis over the biggest golfing world conflict in recent memory. Sentiment analysis using text analysis from press conferences
• Barcelona hotel prices: A look at the effect on hotel prices for Barcelona due to the Primavera Sound Festival; through a dif in dif approach using booking accomodations from Barcelona and Rome.

Outside of data science, I'm an avid sports fan with a passion for golf, tennis, and football. I've spent the last 6 months training for a full marathon, challenging myself both mentally and physically to get the better out of myself.

Feel free to reach out to me for collaborations or if you'd like to chat about finance, data science, or sports!
