About me

A brief introduction

Hello! First of all thank you very much for visiting my site!

I am Luis Figueroa and I like to learn and teach. I discovered my passion for data in the glass industry applying Statistical Process Control (SPC) and other lean methodologies such as Six Sigma, it is not possible to make good decisions to optimize our processes without the help of data.

For that reason I am preparing this website to allow me to document and record some of the most interesting projects I have worked on and share them with you.

A little bit about my career

I studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Oriente. I started working before graduating as a teaching assistant in the process dynamics and control laboratory, and after graduating (2006) I started as a professor of statistics and chemistry at the university. I worked for two years in the expansion project of the high pressure gas injection plant (PIGAP II - Monagas, Venezuela) as a project engineer in the specialty of processes and then I went to the float glass manufacturing industry Guardian de Venezuela SRL, I did a specialization in ceramic and refractory materials at the Simon Bolivar University in 2013.

In 2017 I moved to Argentina and there I worked as a data analyst, quality engineer in a couple of photovoltaic projects and finally as senior Data Analyst in Telecom Argentina. Since 2022 I am in Switzerland, where I am still working on data projects, studying German and machine learning algorithms. You can view my LinkedIn profile at the following link.
