Hi, I'm Vanesa 👋
Bridging privacy and engineering across
web, data & AI
About
I'm a privacy technologist with a background in computer science who believes that good data practices and great products aren’t at odds.
I enjoy digging into the messy, practical side of making privacy actually work in real-world systems.
My work spans the full data lifecycle:
- Analyze how data is collected — investigate cookie behavior, consent signal propagation, and network traffic flows between browsers, SDKs and third-party systems.
- Help engineering and product teams embed privacy directly into data pipelines and infrastructure.
- Advise on how organizations can build AI and data products that are powerful and trustworthy.
When I step away from the screen, you’ll find me tackling a DIY project of questionable ambition, riding my bike through city trails, and fueling both with local coffee and pastries.
