@tiagoalencar1
Data scientist and AI data engineer who turns complex analytics into clear decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a data scientist with a multidisciplinary background in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I build predictive and statistical models, design algorithms, and develop intelligent systems tailored to specific business contexts.
I also focus on the practical side of analytics: data engineering pipelines, data cleaning, transformation, and integration of complex datasets. I’m comfortable translating raw data into feature engineering and reliable modeling inputs.
What I value most is communication—transforming complex analyses into clear messages for managers and audiences not specialized in data science. I create interactive dashboards and KPI-style reporting to make insights actionable and to strengthen strategy and decision-making.
Across health, risk, churn, marketing, logistics, and computer vision, I bring both rigor and momentum to new and complex situations. I’ve applied LLM approaches (e.g., BERT) for text-heavy analysis, and I’ve used strong statistical foundations (regression, ANOVA, A/B testing) to design and evaluate data-driven outcomes.
