Welcome to my blog! I'm Elsa Amores Vera, a seasoned Data Scientist and AI/ML Engineer with a passion for leveraging data to drive impactful change. With a PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, and Biomedicine, my journey began in the field of biomedical research, where I spent over a decade researching cancer biology and genetics. My research work at prestigious institutions like Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center enabled me to contribute to groundbreaking studies. During this time, I developed innovative techniques to model diseases such as Parkinson’s in vitro and pioneered methods to analyze large genomic datasets. NYC Data Science Academy helped me pivot my career to Data Science. After I finished my Data Science and Machine Learning bootcamp in 2018, I secured a Data Scientist position at JPMorgan Chase. In this role, I applied my analytical skills to the financial sector, eventually rising to Vice President and Data Scientist Lead. I led projects that enhanced product offerings through advanced data analysis and machine learning methods, earning recognition for my problem-solving abilities and leadership. Most recently, I have expanded my expertise through an AI Bootcamp at the NYC Data Science Academy, where I developed AI solutions and authored articles on AI perspectives and trends. In this blog, I share the projects I developed through my bootcamps. Join me as I dive into the transformative power of data and technology.
