As a Pre-Doctoral Researcher for the Democratic Government of Funded Pension Schemes Project, funded by the New Opportunities for Research Funding Agency Cooperation in Europe, I conducted comprehensive data collection, analysis, and visualization concerning the governance of capital-funded pension schemes in six European countries. My role involved reviewing and comparing private pension regulations, leading to insightful analyses. Additionally, I conducted in-depth interviews with key stakeholders in Spain, which enriched the qualitative data aspect of the project. My contributions were instrumental in co-authoring two published academic papers and a technical note, thus significantly enhancing the project's scholarly output.

I conducted in-depth analyses of public policies affecting the Peruvian economy, with a focus on taxation and social contributions. My work provided crucial data-driven insights for policy evaluation and improvement. I was also responsible for developing comprehensive periodic reports on the country's economic and educational landscape, effectively communicating complex findings to stakeholders to aid in informed decision-making.

I led the design and execution of a major national survey to assess the landscape of Peruvian enterprises, playing a crucial role in the development and implementation of the National Innovation Survey for enterprises. My work involved conducting in-depth analyses of innovation and productivity across these enterprises, generating actionable insights to guide strategic public policy decisions. Additionally, I was responsible for compiling comprehensive periodic reports on Peru's economic and educational status, providing stakeholders with a clear understanding of national trends and challenges.

I developed comprehensive reports and intuitive data visualizations through dashboards to effectively monitor and evaluate the performance of the tax collection system. Leveraging these visual tools enabled clear communication of complex data insights, facilitating data-driven decision-making processes. Additionally, I conducted extensive big data analyses to uncover trends and patterns in tax collection, directly contributing to the enhancement of fiscal enforcement activities and resulting in a significant increase in tax revenue.
