About

I turn complex data into actionable insights that drive growth for individuals and businesses.

I’m a Social and Data Scientist who has spent the past 6 years leading analytics projects to help Fortune 500 companies and multinational corporations make informed decisions.

I use programming languages, statistical methods, and social science principles to make sense of the world, and I specialize in finding patterns within intricate data and building partnerships to boost business strategies.

What is macuriels for?

I built this website to display my past projects and share the valuable lessons I’ve learned along my journey. The website’s name is a playful nod to my full name.
