Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLerko Hernández is a Senior Data Scientist with nine years of multidisciplinary experience applying machine learning and signal processing across astronomy, geology, telecommunications and aviation. With a foundation in electrical engineering and a master's in AI from Universidad de Chile, he combines algorithm design and practical production deployment—recently working on geotechnical computer vision for mining and production ML at Liberty Latin America before joining LATAM Airlines. He is adept at translating domain-specific problems into data-driven solutions, from NLP news classifiers and GPU-accelerated deployments to alarm systems modeled as finite state machines. Comfortable in cross-functional teams, he brings both research rigor and hands-on engineering discipline to operationalize models at scale. Outside work he sustains a broad intellectual curiosity—studying history and theology—and plays bass, a creative outlet that informs his collaborative and pattern-oriented approach to problem solving.
