who am I?

I work in credit risk modeling and data science in general at the State Bank of Espírito Santo (@Banestes_SA), where I have been employed since 2008. My focus is on improving information quality and reducing decision-making uncertainty through statistical methods and experimentation. I am an economist (Federal University of Espírito Santo - UFES, 2014) and a mathematician (Federal Institute of Espírito Santo, 2024) by training, and I became a data scientist by affinity.

I am a PhD student at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (PPGEco/UFES), where I also completed my master's degree. My research field is time series econometrics, specifically hierarchical time series and machine learning methods for hierarchical time series forecasting.

Regarding technology, I am an enthusiast of FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) and primarily use R, Rust, and Python in my projects, always in a Linux environment. I am the author of the fio package, which is a tool for input-output matrix analysis -- perfectly combining my background in economics, mathematics, and computing.

In my free time, I enjoy surfing and playing guitar in my home studio.
