• Optimization of bakery production: I designed an experiment to evaluate different concentrations of yeast in the production of a typical Ecuadorian bread during a holiday, reducing production costs and increasing efficiency.
• Floriculture mite control: I implemented an experimental design to identify the optimal combination of compounds that would eliminate mites without affecting the growth of rose leaves, improving crop productivity.
