The main objective I have is to learn as long as possible, innovate and generate creative
solutions. At the moment I am working as Data Visualization Specialist. I have the ability
to develop code, manage GIS, and work with large amounts of data. I also prove to be an
effective team worker and have practical and efficient work behavior. I think that my
abilities go beyond the work I currently do. I am looking for a position that imposes
myself on new challenges, training and exceeding expectations.
Some tools used: Python, Pandas, Numpy, PostgreSQL, ArcPy, R, Git.
