Cuevas Chavarría
I turn data into decisions — and decisions into human impact. I combine data science, engineering, and actuarial science to build solutions, from optimization algorithms to community tech programs, always with a human-centered approach.
Mathematician by training, engineer by trade, community builder by conviction.
Outstanding Trajectory Award — Tec Engineering Awards
Recognized by the School of Engineering and Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey for her ability to transform engineering and contribute to a more prosperous, sustainable, and human future.
I'm studying Engineering in Data Science and Mathematics at Tecnológico de Monterrey (graduating May 2027), after completing a Bachelor's in Data Science and Actuarial Science at ITAM. I'm passionate about translating complex data into clear decisions — whether that means optimizing supply chains, training computer vision models, or designing AI education programs.
Outside of technical work, I organize the local tech community in Monterrey, speak about STEM to young people across Latin America, and have led data projects with real social impact — from mapping gender-violence cases to fighting illegal fishing in Mexico.
