Innovation Committee

I’m a multidisciplinary journalist who combines technology and journalism.
Data and Computational Journalist specialized in digital transformation
Hello there! I'm a journalist with seven years of experience in newsrooms. Currently, I work at Folha de S.Paulo, Brazil's largest newspaper.

Happening Now
Inspired by the "Now Page" concept, this section provides a snapshot of my current activities and priorities
File Compressor
I developed a browser-based file compressor. Instead of requesting CSV or GeoJSON files, the browser now loads compressed files and decompresses them locally, reducing page loading times
ZIP Codes Geolocalization
I'm currently working on geolocating all Brazilian ZIP codes. I've encountered challenges due to Geolocation API usage policies. To address this, I'm exploring collaborative solutions like OpenStreetMap and more permissive services
