El Barómetro measured how people talked about migrants online in Colombia and produced public indicators and recommendations to counter xenophobia. As Senior Analyst (December 2020 – May 2023) at Corporación Otraparte, I:
- built end-to-end pipelines to collect and process data from Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok and Twitter;
- developed Spanish NLP models for xenophobia detection and topic modelling, and new narrative-analysis indicators;
- produced monthly reports on online xenophobia, racism and gender-based political discrimination;
- maintained a documented library of 20+ reusable analysis functions, which later grew into tidyX.
