Top SchoolErnesto Chávez is an ML Engineer with 11 years of experience building backend systems and data-driven products across Colombian fintech and e-commerce leaders. After earning a Master’s in Software Engineering, he shipped integrations and APIs at YC-backed Tpaga, built the first price-tracking service in Colombia as CTO of taganga, and now applies ML at Mercado Libre to improve product intelligence. He pairs strong backend skills (Django/RoR) and systems integration experience with a practical product mindset—designing features that directly serve users, such as daily price alerts for 200 subscribers. Comfortable bridging academia, government projects and startups, he’s delivered production-ready solutions from IDEAM data workflows to national fintech integrations. That mix of research-trained rigor and hands-on shipping makes him adept at turning messy real-world data into reliable services.
