Data Engineer/Data Scientist/Developer

Caleta Gaming
01.2023 - 08.2023
  • Created nested PostgreSQL queries for direct use in Tableau software, substituting queries made in Django framework (Python). Developed queries in Pandas, enabling faster data pipeline. Developed daily routines of Web scraping gaming data from main clients (casinos) with Selenium and Beautifulsoup frameworks. Structured new relational tables correlating user nationality from multiple data tables. Applied regression models to data, providing data driven decisions on what game themes to choose and on which business strategies to follow.

Machine Learning Engineer Freelancer

LTrace Geophysical Solutions
10.2022 - 12.2022
  • Implemented and trained a CNN model for segmentation of geological thin section, aiming for pores semantic and instance segmentation. The StarDist model is an already known model in the scientific literature and was selected as an appropriate candidate to be a segmentation algorithm. The CNN was coded in Tensorflow 2 framework.
