Bio

I'm a fan of doing innovative things with data. I work as a data scientist for a crime watchdog and in my free time run a platform that lets citizens analyze crime in their neighborhoods throughout Mexico City.

I have been learning, working with and teaching R for over four years. I am especially skilled at R programming, geospatial analysis and map making, data wrangling, string manipulation, report building, automating busy work, data visualization, function writing, and building data...

I'm a fan of doing innovative things with data. I work as a data scientist for a crime watchdog and in my free time run a platform that lets citizens analyze crime in their neighborhoods throughout Mexico City.

I have been learning, working with and teaching R for over four years. I am especially skilled at R programming, geospatial analysis and map making, data wrangling, string manipulation, report building, automating busy work, data visualization, function writing, and building data apps and platforms with R shiny.

As an intern at the UN Economic Comission for Latin America and the Caribbean, I discovered a love for teaching R and programming as I was given the chance to give four intensive workshops to train UN economists and sociologists in the lastest tools and methods for data analysis.

I have trained over 30 UN economists on how to use R to do complicated tasks and make their work easier, I also developed and launched one of the first comprehensive introduction to R courses on Udemy given completely in Spanish. Because I remember how complicated learning R was when I first started, I love to teach and help others learn the language.

Some of the packages I am well versed in and incorporate into my teaching include: tidyverse, dplyr, ggplot2, lubridate, SF, leaflet, Shiny, rvest, rmarkdown, stringr, stringi, among others.

I have spoken Spanish at home since my childhood but I cemented my knowledge by studying Spanish as a part of my International Relations degree. At different moments I have also spent over 4 years living in Mexico. In high school I took all levels of Spanish and got a 5 on the Spanish AP test.

Wonderful!! Thanks so much

Erik was absolutely great at helping me review my R code, finding some very tough bugs, and walking me through all the functions, scripts, and running R. I am a very very new beginner, and Erik was super nice and helpful.

RStudio!

Thank you! You saved my life! RStudio is not difficult, it depends who explain it to you! Some people are gifted & great at explaining like Erik, some don’t like TA’s in college!

Simplifies concepts

I am more comfortable making decisions to tidy data from the way it is presented in data frames, thanks to Erik.

Great tutor very understanding.

Eric went over basics of r with me. He is a great tutor because he helped me with problems I was struggling with and made sure I had a full understanding of each step of a problem before we moved on.

Fantastic!

Erik is an amazing resource of knowledge and understanding. Erik was able to communicate in a way which made sense while challenging me the whole session. Will certainly be returning for more coaching!
