Embedded Files
I'm Guilherme, a Brazilian/Portuguese citizen who believes life is much better when you understand data and pop culture.
When I’m not cleaning datasets or building dashboards, you’ll probably find me:
🎮 Gaming on my PC;
📖 Reading Sci-Fi books or comic books;
📺 Getting lost on YouTube watching videos about geopolitics, football, or general curiosity.
Ready to bring this analytical mindset and European market focus to your team.

🌍 My Story: A Pattern of International "Plot Twists"
🌍 My Story: A Pattern of International "Plot Twists"
👶 Early Days & The Germany Pattern
I was born on January 27, 1994. If you’re into astrology, that makes me an Aquarius, which basically means I’m supposed to be good-humored, a bit of a revolutionary, and very friendly. That actually defines me pretty well!In 1998, my father got an invitation to work in Wolfsburg, Germany. That was my first international experience. It was great overall, though it was also the first time I faced "negotiation challenges" with my little German peers (they weren't the easiest crowd back then!). In January 2000, we moved back to Brazil, happy that the world didn't end with the Millennium Bug!Germany: Round 2
In 2009, history repeated itself: another invitation for my father to work in Wolfsburg. We can see a pattern here: either he is an incredible worker (he truly is my biggest inspiration) or Volkswagen is crazy!Back in Germany, I attended Gymnasium, but since my German was nearly non-existent at the time, I struggled. I moved to Realschule, where my language skills caught up, and I managed to pass all my classes. This time, the Germans were much friendlier! However, in 2011, we decided to head back to Brazil so I could finish high school and reconnect with our family and friends.🎓 Finding the Right Path
After a few "trial and error" runs at different universities, I looked back at what I enjoyed most: Math and Statistics. I wanted something that allowed me to use numbers without being purely technical like a pure statistician. In 2017, I enrolled in Business Management (FASB), and I can finally say it was the right choice.❤️ Inspiration & New Horizons
My Greatest Legacy
In 2022, my family suffered the biggest loss possible: my mother passed away after an aneurysm surgery. She was and will always be the best person I know. I still try to be a little like her every day, but it’s a high bar to reach; no one had a heart as big as hers. She is my ultimate inspiration for kindness, attention, and being a "heart-giving" person to everyone, from close friends to total strangersThe "Italian Job" & Data Science
Also in 2022, my father decided to move to Italy for work (the man really loves Europe!). After my mom's passing, I decided to move with him to "try my luck" on the old continent. With that in mind, I:- 📈 Enrolled in a Master in Data Science at Rome Business School, graduating with a strong 28/30 grade.
- 🇪🇺 Applied for my Portuguese citizenship. In May 2025, after two long years of waiting, it finally arrived! (Thank you, Portugal, it could have been a bit faster, but we're good now!).
🔍 Fun Facts & Curiosities
🔍 Fun Facts & Curiosities
When I'm not diving into data, here’s a look at the "parameters" that define my life:
📏 The Basics
- Height: 1.80m
- Current Status: Working on a "Data-Driven" weight loss journey. Currently at 130kg and highly committed to optimizing these numbers! (The goal is a steady downward trend, just like a good cost-reduction chart).
🎬 Entertainment & Culture
- TV Shows: I'm a mix of the cozy humor of Friends and the cynical logic of House M.D. (Maybe that’s why I like diagnostic analytics?).
- Gaming: The Witcher 3. Exploring the Continent is my favorite way to spend a weekend.
- Movies: Avengers: Endgame (for the nerd in me) and Django Unchained (for the Tarantino fan in me).
📚 The "Hidden Gem" Book
- A Batalha do Apocalipse (The Battle of the Apocalypse) by Eduardo Spohr.
⚽ Passion
- Football: I am a proud fan of Palmeiras. My heart beats in green and white!
🗣️ The Language Challenge (Road to Polyglot)
I believe communication is key in the European market, so I’m currently working on:- 🇩🇪 German: Re-learning and brushing off the dust from my high school days.
- 🇪🇸 Spanish: Moving from "Portuñol" to a proper professional level.
- 🇫🇷 French: Starting from scratch! (Being a native Portuguese speaker, I’m counting on those Latin roots to help me out).
