Rigor first. Then scale.

I see Statistics as a way to understand phenomena: finding patterns, quantifying uncertainty and building models that represent real problems — that is the pretty explanation. The real one is that statistics and computing are my favourite tools for finding solutions to problems I enjoy.

Who am I?

I'm an undergraduate Statistics student at UFES, focused on Data Science, Machine Learning, AI and Data Engineering, combining statistical rigor with software engineering.

I like to think in products, end to end: requirements, users, weaknesses and real-world use — everything on paper before any code (even if I don't build it all on my own!). Curiosity, consistency and intensity (my defining trait) drive what I build. Not tool demos: projects that test hypotheses, expose their limits and actually solve something.

This is a meeting point of math, data and technology — projects, experiments and studies that track how I'm evolving.

I also keep here the posts, projects and texts I now disagree with, have already updated or am still updating; this is just a brief summary of what I build.
