Yes, it’s confuse, I know. I have done a lot of things in my life. I started as a communicator, then I migrated to the Marketing field, where I got the web fever. And who says web, says data, n’est-ce pas ? Do you want to hear this incredible story? Let’s go, then!
In 1999, I made a decision: I was going to be a journalist. As any 17 years old boy, I found this was final. It wasn’t… It only took me about 5 years to realize that marketing was my thing. And more 4 years to discover that automating marketing was really fun.
But what’s online marketing without data…?
This is my life, a journey of successive questions, each one leading me to a new and complementary path. From a first M.A. in Journalism, I went to a M.B.A in Big Data and Data Science.
Today, you can call me a Data Scientist, but you can also call me curious.
I work mainly on the text mining and Natural Language Processing fields. I find it beautiful how we can extract data from language in order to make beautiful things.
I believe that good marketing should be measured and that there’s a lot of applications for Natural Language Processing in Marketing, including Topic Modelling and Sentiment Extraction.
Good Data can and should be found on web. I know how to use Selenium, Python, HTML and CSS to get what I want, and to use PHP to create an API if I have to.
E aí? Quer falar em Português? Sem problemas.
En plus d’être brésilien, je suis aussi français. Tu peux me tutoyer si tu veux.

Did you really think it was over?
I have lived in 5 countries until now and I have visited at least 18 countries. I love traveling and learning new cultures.
Being a father is awesome. I am the father of a beautiful 15 years old girl and of a 10 years old dog. Yes, dogs are humans too!
