Diving from drafting building designs to navigating the world of data, my journey's been a wild ride from architect to data whiz, with a side of GIS magic. Imagine mixing designing cities with geeking out over data – that's my jam. Right now, I'm nailing my PhD (just the final lap left with a thesis about urban resilience), and working as a urban climate data analyst at the REMHI division of the CMCC foundation. So, what's in my toolbox? A blend of urban planning savvy, GIS mastery, and IT acumen (I'm a pythonist, but I can also configure a web server). Picture this: using innovative GIS techniques to create sustainable and smarter urban layouts. Also, I've got a cool trick up my sleeve with Natural Language Processing (NLP). Think of it like a superpower for sifting through tons of research and articles, pulling out the nuggets that really matter. It's all about turning words into data gold, which helps make smarter urban decisions. Combining this with my GIS and planning skills, I get to see the full picture – both the numbers and the stories behind them – for tackling urban challenges in a really complete way. Plus, I'm fluent in English and pretty handy with Portuguese. Aside from this, I were a track and field pro runner, meaning sport is an important part of my life.
