What I have been doing lately

AtlasIntel provides advanced data products for political intelligence and economic forecasting. I'm currently working on calibrating survey samples, political analysis, public opinion monitoring, and improving internal data pipelines.
Researcher @ IESP-UERJ

Policy and Election Monitoring and Evaluation Laboratory. Dedicated to studying public policy, elections, and their interconnections using causal inference and machine learning techniques.
