@talitasilva
Data scientist focused on Python and machine learning, who developed an oil-spill simulation model with Petrobras.
What I'm looking for
At Petrobras, in partnership with GeoEnergyLab, I worked on computational modeling for industrial problems, developing mathematical models in Python and analyzing simulation data.
I tested machine learning applications to automate oil-well data collection and predict tidal meteorological data. I also automated computational routines and supported the interpretation of results.
For my banking customer churn project, I compared classification models and tuned XGBoost, prioritizing recall. I built a Streamlit dashboard with an interactive churn simulator that estimates a customer’s cancellation probability.
I also developed a decision tree model for credit score classification and contributed to colleagues’ projects during a Lattice Boltzmann course in Marseille, while developing my own oil-spill project. I’m looking to grow my experience in data science and machine learning projects.
