My name is Mateus, but my friends used to call me Manteiga (which means butter) because I cried too much when I was just a kid. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Anyway, I'm a Physicist by definition but I was feeling a bit bored with it and that's the reason why (at least one of many) I decided to change topics to Data Science.
BTW: I was Forged under Fortran's careful eyes!
I really like working in cross-functional teams with people smarter than me and I'm always seeking the One Question that shapes everything.
Glad to learn new things every day!
Even today every morning I still take a look at the High Energy Physics Phenomenology section in arXiv, just to see what's going on around there.
Very recently I developed a sudden interest in Causal Inference (my main focus for now). For the time being I'm trying to find a way to connect it in the ongoing project.
Besides DS, Machine Learning and Physics, I really like to study Finance, but nothing too deep, just as a hobby.
I love to learn different types of methods and approaches to solve the same problem. I feel that's pretty much the essence underneath the hood of coding.
Some Techs:
Academic: Undergrad-MSc-PhD Thesis and Peer-Reviewed Published Papers
In this repository you'll find all my scientific published works (mostly associated with Physics). Moreover, HEP-Inspires shows some stats related to my papers.
Post-Doctorate projects
Finished and closed PD-project in High-Energy Physics.
UFC fighter card info
Project:
The aim was to recognize the fighter by means of an input image. This was a computer vision project, more precisely a face recognition and identification, using transfer learning, MTCNN (and OpenCV). The MVP was deployed in AWS (using EC2 as server and S3 as bucket).
