My name is Juan David Osorio Betancur, and I’m a freelance data scientist deeply in thought about the future of our world. The purpose of this blog is to put those thoughts into writing in a place where they can become actions. And promote myself a bit in the process.
I’m a machine learning, deep learning, and data science specialist with 5 years of experience developing data science products and predictive models in multiple fields including healthcare, retail, public infrastructure, and academic research, working with clients from all over the world.
However, realizing that we are on the brink of climate change apocalypse (with only 12 years to avoid the worst) and that as data scientist I have power and the responsibility to use that power for good, I decided to start working for that goal.
So, if you have a project focused on climate change mitigation, and you need help with data analysis or predictive modeling, hit me up!
I’m especially, but not exclusively, interested in working on Electricity Systems (generation and demand forecasting, reducing losses on transmission), Farming (remote sensing of emissions, protecting peatlands and other fragile ecosystems), and Forests (carbon stock estimation, facilitating afforestation, tracking deforestation)
