Profile

I am passionate about designing and creating technological solutions with impact in society and everyday life, through research and application of concepts and theories. I love statistics and informatics. I am a geoinformatics engineer, specialist in software engineering, and currently, I am a student of the master's degree in information science and communications with emphasis on software engineering. My current research areas are machine learning, software engineering, astronomy, astrophysics, GIS, and industry 4.0.

I have more than 5 years of work experience as a full-stack software and research engineer with experience in technology companies focused on the manufacturing area. I have also worked as a researcher engineer, data scientist, teacher, and mentor.
