I'm a multidisciplinary professional blending sociology, digital operations, and creative research. Over the past decade, I collaborated across academic and industry teams, bridging qualitative insights with technical implementation. I’ve built Portuguese language datasets for NLP, led CloudOps and data migration projects, and conducted visual research at the intersection of people, technology, and visual culture. When I’m not analyzing data or refining prompts, I enjoy experimental photography and monoprinting in my spare time.
