My Mission
Promote the use of FOSS4G to solve geoscientific problemsBiography
Carlos is graduated in Geology from Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), in 2005, Post Graduated in Basin Analysis and Mobile Belts from UERJ, with a Master’s Degree in Applied Geophysics (2008), PhD in Petrology and Geochemistry (2012) and MBA in Data Science anda Analytics, from USP (2024).
Experienced since 2007 in using FOSS4G, acquired and applied at the Environmental and Water Resources Institute (IEMA/ES), from Espírito Santo State and at the Geological Survey of Brazil (SGB/CPRM).
Carlos is currently one of the SGB/CPRM’s representatives at Spatial Data Infrastructure of Brazil (INDE), member of Technical Implementation Group (TIG) of OneGeology, OSGEO Brazil Local Chapter and Brazilian Society of Geology.
He is actually working in research and development of new and disruptive technologies, in addition to proposing out-of-the-box solutions for internal geoscientific problems and those of partner institutions, with outstanding performance as an architect, developer, mediator and consultant in Spatial Data Infrastructures, desktop, server and mobile GIS, remote sensing, geographic database systems and OGC/ISO 19100 Series standards.
He is also a specialist in Python, PHP and Javascript, geospatial APIs and Data Analytics – Including with training given to SGB/CPRM, IBGE and Embrapa’s employees.
