Where mining meets machine intelligence.
Senior Digital Analytics & OT Leader
Mining × AI × Transformation

Born in Chile and forged in the world's most demanding mining operations, I've spent twelve years translating the language of ore bodies into the language of algorithms. From the copper pits of the Atacama to the boardrooms of Brisbane, I've led digital transformation at two of the planet's largest mining companies — Glencore and Codelco — driving more than $250M in portfolio value through AI, advanced analytics, and IT-OT convergence.
I hold an Australian Global Talent visa — recognition by the Australian Government of exceptional ability in the resources technology sector. My work sits at the rare intersection where mining engineering rigor meets machine learning possibility, where a decade of operational instinct informs every model I build. I lead with curiosity, execute with precision, and believe the most important technology is still the people who use it.

Presented prescriptive ML model results achieving 6.06% fine copper uplift via XGBoost/EMCEE Bayesian optimisation of SAG mill operations.
Demonstrated cloud-native architecture for real-time multi-body dynamics simulation applied to heavy haulage fleet management.
Applied discrete element modelling to quantify geomechanical behaviour in block cave operations — foundational research for mine stability planning.
High standards aren't negotiable. Every deliverable, every decision, every interaction — executed with the same rigour I'd apply to a production-critical system.
I invest in people and partnerships for the long term. Trust is built through consistency, not contracts. The teams I've led know I have their back.
Stagnation is the only real failure. I pursue continuous improvement relentlessly — in the models I build, the teams I lead, and the person I'm becoming.
Rigour over shortcuts. Applied insight over theoretical abstraction. I've learned to ask better questions by spending years at the coalface — literally.
Sustainable performance requires sustainable living. The same systems thinking I apply to mining operations, I apply to how I work and live.
Open to senior leadership roles, advisory engagements, and speaking invitations at the intersection of mining, AI, and digital transformation.
