Work Experience

  • Sept 2022 - Present
    Senior Revenue and Capacity Analyst
    National Railroad Passenger Corporation - Amtrak. Washington, DC.
    • Developed and implemented alternative inventory-management strategies and spoil controls to identify and generate more opportunities through stimulating demand and driving revenue growth. For the 2023 fiscal year, this implementation generated more than ten million dollars on year-over-year revenue growth for all assigned routes and despite fleet constraints.

    • Developed statistical and data-reporting tools for a continuous and more effective oversight of strategies and spoil controls’ performance in order to avoid revenue dilution and inventory spoilage.

    • Developed a framework for market analysis, demand forecast, and an inferential simulation for the creation and implementation of mapping logic for a new pricing and inventory structure, preventing disruption in revenue management.

    • Improved existing data visualization tools and created a new data analysis frame that includes more detailed information on every assigned train and route, such as sectional and directional analysis, time series analysis, among others for enhancing analytical capabilities and reducing data bias and turning them into unbiased business decisions.

    • Proactive participation on evaluating and formulating recommendations of current business practices and systems, such as recommendations for the Amtrak website, the new Revenue Management System, as well as identifying an existing bias in the performance indicators for assigned Midwest routes.
  • Aug 2022 - Sept 2022
    Account Management Specialist

    • Processed taxpayers’ account inquiries, highly sensitive account updates and other requests by providing general information on tax law, taxation procedures, available resources, and monitoring the data-requests performance indicators.

    • Participated in the evaluation of the requests’ processing workflow to support quality indicators and recommended an additional frame for processing sensitive data queries with increased accuracy and effectiveness.

    • I applied statistical/econometrics (causal inference) techniques and other methodologies to analyze data and backing research’s conclusions about the relationship between public sector productivity and economic growth.

    • Gathered and shaped available data for modeling the impact of a public sector productivity improvement in the economy, concentrating more on the direct effects in economic growth.

    • Developed statistical simulation, for the years where data were not available or incomplete, but they were still necessary to reinforce a robust time series analysis of macroeconomic indicators.

    • Presented findings and conclusions to the WB researchers, to the scholars from the Economics Department, and graduate students of the Macroeconomic Analysis class.
