What can hiring me actually change in your business? * Bottlenecks you didn't know were costing you money — identified and fixed with data-driven process analysis * Financial decisions backed by real forecasting and statistical models, not guesswork * Marketing spend optimized by knowing exactly which channels and campaigns actually convert * Operations streamlined through dashboards that show you what's happening in real time — not last month I'm a Data Scientist with a Physics background (currently completing a Master's in Physics of Data, specializing in Machine Learning and Deep Learning), with hands-on professional experience in financial and regulated environments. I built data pipelines on Databricks integrating APIs, transactional databases, and SAS, modeled Open Banking data for credit risk analysis, and developed dashboards that cut manual reporting time by 30% — while ensuring LGPD/GDPR compliance. I built Power BI and MicroStrategy dashboards for finance and growth tracking, migrated reporting workflows from Excel to Python, and developed a churn prediction model. Where I add value: * Cleaning and structuring data (SQL, Python, Databricks, Apache Spark) so it's finally reliable * Interactive dashboards (Power BI, MicroStrategy, Looker) your team will actually use daily * Predictive models for credit risk, churn, revenue forecasting, and customer behavior * Compliance-aware data handling (LGPD/GDPR experience) Fluent in Portuguese, English (C1), and working professional level in Spanish and Italian — so communication is never the bottleneck, wherever your business operates. If your data is scattered, your reports take too long to build, or your team is deciding on gut feeling, let's change that. Message me and let's talk about your project.
