Summary
Iván Ferreira is a geologist with 8 years of experience who blends traditional earth-science expertise with practical machine learning and computer vision skills, currently applying data-driven approaches at the Servicio Geológico Colombiano. He holds a B.Sc. from Universidad Nacional de Colombia and an M.Sc. from KFUPM, where he also served as an AI researcher and later as a Graduate Student Ambassador building academic links across Latin America. His work spans sedimentary petrography, seismic interpretation, GIS and cloud-based data engineering (BigQuery, GCP) to support hydrocarbon exploration and product analytics. Comfortable developing ML pipelines and backend services (FastAPI) as well as performing domain-specific interpretation, he bridges field geology and applied data science to turn complex geoscientific datasets into actionable insights. A continual learner, he combines international academic experience with hands-on production work, often operating at the intersection of research and applied engineering.
