After completing my degree in Business Administration and working for a while in consulting, I became interested in this world and began to prepare myself through various studies, such as a Master's Degree in Applied Statistics and Data Mining and finally I took the competitive exams for Senior State Statisticians, my first and only destination to date being the National Institute of Statistics, where I have performed various tasks related to the management and handling of data. After a while I started a research phase in the field of Data Science, a discipline that was gaining increasing recognition, studying for a PhD in Data Science. During my PhD years, I have been involved in research projects related to the world of official statistics and Data Science, tackling complex challenges in data analysis, machine learning and data visualisation.
