Data Scientist
About
Passionate about science, technology, and innovation, my academic background includes a bachelor's degree in Chemistry from the Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar), as well as a master's and doctoral degree from the University of São Paulo (USP). My journey into programming began during my final internship in 2010 when I delved into chemometric analysis, applying data science techniques to sets of chemical analysis information. I used reference instruments such as AAS, ICP-OES, and fluorescence to perform calibrations and modeling with the aid of machine learning techniques like NIRS and LIBS.
My postgraduate studies covered two distinct areas. In the first part, I focused on data analysis and data science, using programming languages like MATLAB and Python, with libraries such as pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, SciPy, PyQt, PySide6, Matplotlib, Plotly, and Seaborn. In the second part, I shifted my focus to environmental issues related to agriculture, exploring topics such as carbon stock, carbon sequestration, carbon credit market, humification of organic soil matter, pasture systems, and the reuse of agricultural byproducts.
My experience at AGROROBÓTICA went beyond data analysis and modeling using LIBS technology in the carbon credit market. It also involved acting as an internal auditor in accordance with ISO 17025 and leading the technical team in implementing quality management systems. Additionally, I dedicated myself to the validation of analytical methods with LIBS, contributing to the company's research and development.
In the Engineering and Systems department at AGROROBÓTICA, I played a pivotal role in the Full Stack development of Python applications, with graphical interfaces in PyQt for desktop environments and utilizing Flask for web applications. Furthermore, I took part in configuring and managing cloud-based data infrastructure using the Microsoft Founders Hub - Azure platform.
Currently, my career has led me to Blend IT - CEABS, where I work as a Full Stack developer, using C# and ASP.NET in MVC-based systems with a SQL Server database backend.
