I am Paul,
a Mechatronics Engineer
and Data Scientist.
About
I'm a Senior Analytics & Automation Engineer with experience across Engineering, R&D, and IT departments. Currently, I'm part of the Digitalization team within the Global IT division of a major manufacturing company in which i have developed for almost two decades now. I work remotely from South America, in Perú. I'm passionate about data, digital transformation and industrial automation. Outside of work, I have an undeniable addiction to coffee, a love for music discovery, and I enjoy playing the piano as a hobby.

Teaching
Lecturer
Universidad de Lima · Part-time
Aug 2025 - Present
I teach an introductory graduate-level course on Deep Learning for a Master's in Industrial Design, covering core neural network architectures such as MLPs, CNNs, RNNs, and LSTMs, along with a high-level overview of GANs and Transformer models.
Recent Projects
Here are some of the projects I have done lately. Feel free to check them out.
Self-supervised model for glass containers
NDA protected - details can't be disclosed, but involved the usage of deep learning for estimation of a given attribute in glass containers, in a self-supervised manner, defining a suitable pretext task to solve this problem. Deveopment performed in Pytorch
- Deep Learning Model
- Industrial Automation
Teaching
Here some important topics for Machine Learning, Data Science and related.
Overfitting
Overfitting is one of the most important foundational concepts in Data Science. Understanding it can prevent the common mistake of assuming a model is gdoing a good job just because it performs well on training data you used. In fact, people unaware of this concept would ironally seek high accuracies unusually high training accuracy often signals a poor model — one that fails to generalize to new data./p>
