Once upon a time, my interests lay in academic research in Tropical Ecology, where I earned a PhD (2015). With that degree, I worked as a postdoc and temporary teacher at Universidade de Brasília. During this academic phase, I had the opportunity to publish several academic papers.In 2018, I partially left academia and transitioned to working as an Epidemiologist in public health in the Distrito Federal health department. During this time, I earned prizes from the Ministry of Health and was recognized by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) for my relevant work in data analysis of COVID-19 during the pandemicOver the past few years, I specialized as a Data Scientist, completing this transition in 2023, when I earned a bachelor’s degree in Statistics. During this period, I developed my first R package, recalibratiNN, focused on the recalibration of neural networks for better uncertainty estimates. For most of 2024, I worked as a Statistician at the Instituto de Pesquisa e Estatística do DF (IPEDF), focusing primarily on sample surveys, environmental performance evaluations, and the development of the “Calculadora Verde”,, an app designed to estimate the CO2e emissions of the DF government in their projects. Since September 2024, I have been an employee at Banco do Brasil, working in the technology sector, specifically with AI and analytics.This diverse background reflects my interest in any subject that involves data analysis and visualization, particularly using R, but most importantly, using my brains. I am easily fascinated by the prospect of acquiring new knowledge about life, the universe, and everything in between.
