About
I’m a Data Scientist and AWS Specialist dedicated to transforming complex data into actionable insights that drive strategic business impact. With a robust background in cloud analytics, predictive modeling, and scalable data architectures, Master in Data Science and Analytics by the Universidade de São Paulo (USP), Brazil, and Engineer by the Federal University of Itajubá (UNIFEI). I have a passion for harnessing the power of data and technology to drive business decisions and solve complex problems. My career includes pivotal roles at industry leaders such as AWS and Amazon. At Amazon, as the LATAM Profitability & Analytics Program Manager, I spearheaded initiatives that revolutionized forecasting, automation, and decision-making processes—reducing forecasting errors from 40% to under 5% and saving over $330K annually. I also developed comprehensive dashboards and data models that supported strategic initiatives not only in Brazil, Mexico, and Japan but also significantly aided our efforts in the Netherlands. My contributions were recognized through several accolades, including being named a Data Champion in 2023 and Best in Class Award in Machine Learning University. Prior to that, at AWS, I led critical projects to optimize operational efficiency. I improved signal and automation systems for the AWS Ground Station in Chile and streamlined facility operations in Brazil, reducing response times by over 90% and ensuring flawless compliance. These experiences fortified my expertise in leveraging AWS services—from SageMaker and Bedrock to Redshift, Lambda, and more—to build secure, efficient, and scalable data solutions. Currently, as a Data Science Specialist, I continue to drive innovation by architecting robust analytics infrastructures, deploying machine learning models and multi-agent systems, and championing data-driven cultures. I excel in using Python, R, and SQL alongside a multitude of AWS tools to build production-grade data lakes and automate sophisticated ETL pipelines. I’m passionate about integrating emerging technologies and advanced analytics to foster digital transformation and deliver measurable business outcomes.
