Relevant Experience and Projects
Web Portal (This!): I’ve created this JAMstack web portfolio/blog to document my data analytics journey, it’s the May-gic Data!
Github Profile: I have a Github account where I share my projects and what I’ve learned so far. Some of my projects are:
- Spatial Data Analysis with Participatory Map: This project was the result of a a practice lab for Relay GIS Mapping for Solar Course (2025). The goal was to create a Story Map to showcase results of participatory mapping, helping to leverage community engagement in the field of Solar Energy Development. To do that I processed the spatial data using ArcPro, and analysed participants survey results to have insights of the more suitabe places for solar development. I used excel to process the data and to create the charts.
- Game Mania Store Website: for this project I used HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Angular, Javascript and Jquery to create a front-end interface for a ficticious web store. I developed some functionalities using media queries for responsive design, DOM manipulation and js-carousel to make the page interactive.
- Technical Share App: online mentoring scheduling platform, created during the FCamara Hackaton I participated as a Front-End Dev. For this project I used HTML, CSS, Bootstrap, Javascript, and API’s to manage data between client and server.
