Summary
Diego Mejía is a Machine Learning Engineer and biomedical engineer with eight years of experience blending computational modeling, medical imaging, signal processing, and software prototyping to support clinical and public-health decision making. He holds an MSc in Biomedical Engineering, is completing a biology degree thesis, and is pursuing a PhD in Engineering at Universidad de los Andes, where he has contributed as a researcher and graduate teaching lead. His projects include ML-driven taxonomic classification of short DNA reads and epidemiological modeling for COVID-19 that informed municipal decisions, demonstrating applied research that reaches stakeholders beyond academia. Comfortable across programming, ML, and physiological systems modeling, he pairs technical depth with teaching and customer-facing problem solving in multidisciplinary teams. A subtle strength is his hands-on bridging of prototyping and deployment: turning research code into visualizations and tools used by decision makers. Based in Bogotá, he also brings consultancy experience with cloud services (AWS) and an interdisciplinary perspective spanning electronics, nanotechnology interest, and biomedical domains.
