About Me

I worked for a while as a data scientist for different companies, from FAANG to early-stage startups. Last year I left my full-time job to start my own company and I'm now working on Casify.it, a data analytics and prediction toolbox for real estate investors.

I am mostly interested in coding, DS/ML and startups. My hobbies are music production, reading and calisthenics.
