Maria C is a data scientist and economist based in Paris with eight years of experience translating granular geographic and economic data into policy-relevant insights and production-ready tools. At the OECD she has moved legacy BI workflows to code-first open-source solutions, helped design an internal R package ecosystem, and trains statisticians in reproducible data science practices. Her background in competition economics and time at Deloitte sharpened her skills building R Shiny applications, internal R packages, and embedding Git-based workflows across teams. Maria combines rigorous economic analysis with pragmatic software development, routinely bridging technical and policy audiences to deliver validated, well-documented outputs. Mostly focused on R, she is an active advocate for data literacy and developer best practices within large organisations—a quieter through-line that explains her success scaling tools and skills across teams.
