about me
Hi, I'm Cynthia
Online I go by "Elaia, la Matemaga" — the math sorceress. I'm a mathematician by training, passionate about data science, visualization, and complex systems — especially where disciplines intersect.
I'm currently a Data Visualization Engineer at Zillow. Previously I worked in data science in digital banking and did bioinformatics research at the UANL Complex Systems Lab. I'm an AWS Community Builder, GDG Monterrey organizer, and TechFem mentor.
On YouTube I share mathematics outreach and every Friday I go live with #ViernesDeVisualizaciones, my weekly data-visualization series. This site is my public notebook: projects, talks, notes and everything in between.
Live every Friday
#ViernesDeVisualizaciones
A live series exploring data visualization, tools, and design decisions through real examples.
