What I'm looking for

I seek GIS roles that combine AI-driven remote sensing, automation, and sustainable forestry impact, with collaborative teams and opportunities to scale tools.

I am a highly analytical GIS Analyst with 4+ years applying geospatial technologies, AI, and machine learning to forestry and environmental monitoring. I automate workflows, develop custom tools, and transform complex geodata into decision-ready products.

At Bracell I automated workflows and developed custom toolboxes, designed and trained AI models for eucalyptus detection from drone imagery, and converted remote sensing outputs into actionable forest management indicators. These efforts reduced costs and operationalized scalable solutions.

Previously at Vega Monitoramento I implemented quality control, automated MapSeries production, and created image-processing scripts that cut reporting and processing times by 40%. I also produced documentation and strengthened client-facing and project-management skills.

My background includes research on forest regeneration and carbon emissions, a Forest Engineering degree, and targeted coursework in Python for geoprocessing, AI for geotechnologies, and Google Earth Engine. I bring continuous-improvement focus, strong problem-solving, and collaborative leadership to every project.
