About
I'm Diego Papaterra — Data Engineer, Senior Software Developer, and founder of Potest SAS in Montevideo, Uruguay. Over 12 years of professional software development I've worked across enterprise e-commerce platforms, data pipelines, and product engineering.
In 2023 I shifted my focus toward data: building ML pipelines, working with Python's data science ecosystem, and applying analytics to real business problems. I completed an Applied Data Analytics & AI Diploma at UTEC (Universidad Tecnológica del Uruguay), culminating in a financial fraud detection system.
Outside of data work I'm still an active software engineer. I built Aura, a personal finance app, end-to-end — from architecture to deployment. I believe in shipping real things.
