What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, encourages collaboration, and offers opportunities for professional growth in data science.

I am a Data Scientist with over 5 years of experience, holding a Master's in Statistics and a Bachelor's in Business Administration. My passion lies in transforming complex data into strategic assets that drive business decisions. I have a proven track record of developing predictive models that enhance customer understanding and inform marketing strategies.

In my current role as a Senior Data Scientist at eSpark, I lead all advanced analytical processes, optimizing our flagship product's performance through innovative solutions like fine-tuning LLM Assistants. My efforts have resulted in significant improvements in user experience and decision-making capabilities across the organization. I pride myself on delivering actionable insights through self-service BI platforms and robust A/B testing frameworks.

Previously, I worked with Pebmed/Afya, where I developed predictive models that reduced churn rates and supported proactive planning for potential health outbreaks. My experience at Accenture further honed my skills in translating business needs into technical solutions, ensuring that data-driven recommendations resonate with stakeholders. I am committed to continuous learning and applying statistical rigor to empower teams and enhance product iterations.
