Introduction
About Me
Hi, I’m Thiago! 👋
I’m a passionate Data Scientist with over 6 years of experience in data analytics, machine learning, and statistical modeling. I specialize in building robust machine learning pipelines, automating processes, and delivering actionable insights that drive business decisions. My journey began with a strong foundation in Statistics, which I’m further enhancing through my ongoing Master’s degree at the University of São Paulo, focusing on Latent Trait Models.
My Expertise
I thrive at the intersection of data and technology, bringing ideas to life through tools like Python, R, and advanced statistical methods. My skill set includes:
- Machine Learning & AI: Scoring models, recommendation systems, NLP, and clustering.
- Data Analytics: Visualization, ETL processes, hypothesis testing, and A/B testing.
- Deployment: APIs with FastAPI, Flask, and serverless architectures using AWS Lambda.
- Infrastructure: Docker Compose, Redis, Elasticsearch, Kibana, and observability stacks.
I’m also building out my observability repository, leveraging the Elastic Stack to monitor machine learning API environments.
My Current Projects
Currently, I am developing a Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) platform at the University of São Paulo, using R and Django. The project aims to create an API to implement Item Response Theory (IRT) models and Cumulative Distribution Models (CDM). I have already implemented unidimensional IRT models and established a database for item storage, which will enable adaptive and customized testing, providing a more efficient experience for assessing and measuring skills.
In my extra time, I’m exploring machine learning model deployment at scale. This includes:
- Building pipelines: Using FastAPI, NGINX, and Docker for efficient model hosting.
- Improving Observability: Integrating Metricbeat, Filebeat, and Elasticsearch for API monitoring.
- Learning Serverless Tech: Experimenting with AWS Lambda for flexible, scalable deployments.
Outside of Work
I’m a football fan and find joy in both my professional and personal growth. I recently moved to Ireland, where I balance life as a student and a tech enthusiast. When I’m not immersed in data science models, I enjoy exploring the development side by learning about technologies related to AI and play video-games.
Let’s Connect!
I’m always excited to collaborate or chat about data science, new tech trends, or even soccer (shoutout to Clube do Remo fans!). Check out my portfolio on GitHub or reach out on LinkedIn.
