ANDRÉS
GALARZA.
Data Scientist / ML Engineer / Ph.D.
I studied the stars. I build intelligent systems. In 2025 I founded Analytia, and I’m taking it to the next level. Science, code, and the person behind both.
01 / THE ADVENTURE MAP
New worlds. The same curiosity.
CHAPTER 01 / 2005 — 2022
Reading the universe
Physics, a master’s in astronomy, and a Ph.D.: my academic journey brought machine learning into the study of stars.
Explore chapter CHAPTER 02 / 2021 — 2026Intelligence in the real world
From public-sector modeling to financial fraud and agentic recommendations: applying data science beyond astronomical catalogs.
Explore chapter CHAPTER 03 / 2025—Founding Analytia
In 2025 I founded Analytia S.A.S. to turn years of research and industry experience into B2B data and AI services. Today I am fully focused on taking it to the next level.

Not every chapter is written in code
My story also has movement, music, and time for others. I enjoy running, swimming, martial arts, and learning languages. Away from the lab, there is room for rock, blues, guitar, anime, and manga.
Reason, faith & science
From a Catholic perspective, I like bringing reason, faith, and science into dialogue. That is part of my personal story, alongside the scientific and professional chapters.

TIME FOR OTHERS / VOLUNTEER SERVICE
TOV guide
I volunteer as a guide with Talleres de Oración y Vida (TOV), the Prayer and Life Workshops founded by Father Ignacio Larrañaga. Service has a place in this journey, too.
