About
I started out as a biomedical researcher, running undergraduate immunology and cancer research at the Federal University of ABC (UFABC) with a FAPESP grant. A growing interest in turning data into decisions pulled me into data science, and from there into data governance. I've spent the last few years helping organizations (DataLakers, BTG Pactual, and now Shopee) build governance practices that actually hold up: data quality, access control, ownership, and LGPD-aligned compliance. I'm now applying that same rigor to a new focus, building a cybersecurity specialization on top of my governance and data background, centered on how data protection, access control, and security intersect.
