👋🏻 Hi! I'm Nicael.
Staff Data Scientist • AI & Digital Strategy • Python Developer
I build and advise at the intersection of AI, data, analytics and software; where strategy meets implementation.
About Me
I am a technically-minded and strategically-inclined data scientist with a background in civil engineering, hydrology and water resource management. Over the past few years, I've grown into a hybrid role where I design and build internal tools, automate workflows, and help teams make better decisions using data.
I'm especially interested in the intersection of software, data, AI, cloud infrastructure, and sustainable public systems. I like building things that are robust, reusable, and actually get used, and I'm always looking to improve how we work.

Citizen science with local inhabitants
Phetchaburi River Basin, Thailand
A local monk participates in our water level monitoring effort by taking a daily photo of the river gauge. This helped explore the feasibility of community-based data collection using the Mobile Water Management app. Fun fact: the monks kept up their daily monitoring efforts for years after our project ended!
Interesting photo
Somewhere, over the rainbow
It is an interesting concept, but I don't know what to say about it yet.
Let's talk!
