Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEdgar Manrique is a Senior Data Scientist and PhD candidate in mathematical physics who combines ten years of experience with a strong record of applying machine learning to real-world problems, from fraud detection at Equifax to anomaly discovery in astronomical datasets. He leads open-source software for LEO satellite tracking and contributed a topological-data-analysis library for anomaly detection in light curves, blending research-grade methods with production-ready engineering. Edgar’s background as a physics instructor and mentor informs a pragmatic, explainable-ML approach and strong communication skills used to train students and cross-functional teams. At Equifax he helped develop a refund-fraud model projected to save a major merchant up to $1M by prioritizing the riskiest transactions. Fluent across Python, parallelized big-data workflows and interpretable ML, he is equally comfortable shipping models to production and teaching others to use them. He brings an unusual mix of astrophysics research, hands-on software leadership, and bilingual teaching experience rooted in Chile’s growing tech ecosystem.
