Bio:

My passion for technology began at the age of 15 when I embarked on an IT technical course at SENAI Petrópolis. This early exposure to programming in C and Java ignited my curiosity and set me on a path toward a career in Computer Science.

In 2017, I enrolled in the Computer Science program at the Federal University of São João del-Rei (UFSJ), where I gained hands-on experience in Java, Android, and Python. Throughout my studies, I actively participated in Extension Projects and Scientific Initiatives, working on Chatbots, Complex Networks, and Data Mining research.

After earning my bachelor’s degree in 2021, I pursued a Master’s degree in Informatics with a focus on Data Science at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio). My research intersected Data Science and Software Engineering, particularly exploring the challenges developers face in Machine Learning projects.

Professionally, I began as a Junior Software Engineer at MarkTech, where I focused on web applications and projects involving Python, VueJS, and JavaScript. Currently, I serve as a data scientist for the ExACTa initiative (PUC-Rio). I contribute to Petrobras’ refinery operations by developing machine learning models to optimize oil stream predictions, leveraging Python and AutoML within the Microsoft Azure ecosystem.

With a deep-rooted passion for using technology to drive impactful solutions, I continue to seek challenges that contribute to digital transformation and innovation.
