Ricardo C.

I'm an economist specializing in quantitative methods, strategic evaluation, and applied analytics. I work across academic research, consulting, and entrepreneurship—designing robust models for decision-making, optimizing retail margins, and automating data workflows.

I design robust models for decision-making, automate data workflows, and optimize retail margins using advanced tools in R and Python. My expertise includes modular scripting, error-proof data extraction, and econometric modeling—especially with complex survey data like ENIGH.
