Hi, I am Felippe! 30 years old oceanographer from Sao Paulo, Brazil. I am currently based on Rio de Janeiro, Brazil,
working as Physical Oceanographer and Data Engineer at the Brazilian Navy Hydrographic Center.
I have my Bachelor's in Oceanography from the Federal University of Rio Grande, FURG, in 2017. During my undergrad period,
I belonged to the Laboratory for Studies of Oceans and Climate (LEOC), since 2013, place where I developed many skills from academic
and research field, also having the opportunities to participate of cruize expeditions, along the brazilian coast and Antartica.
I focused my undergrad on Physical Oceanography, major's that I am passionate about it. It was during my internship on LEOC that
I started my interest in programming and tech.
During my undergrad period, I had the opportuniy to have a Scholarship sponsored by the National
Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq - Brazil) to study in Adelaide, Australia, for 15
months. More than an incredible academic moment, it was also a amazing personal and cultural
experience in my life. In my period at the University of
South Australia - UniSA, I studied subjects related with Environmental Sciences along two semesters.
At the end of my exchange period, I was awarded
with a Summer Scholarship from the Australian Research Council - Centre of Excellence for Climate
System Science, when I then moved to Sydney to be a intern during 6 weeks at the Climate Change
Reserch
Centre (CCRC), in
the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
Back in Brazil, I finished my degree and went back to São Paulo to work as a Data Analyst in a
Digital Marketing Consultancy Agency. It was a challenge to be in such a different working
environment, outside the academy. However, it was also a great opportunity for my professional
development. Such job contributed to improve my tech skills: I learned new technologies, key
concepts of Business, company’s routine and, how to work in a data team (work-flow, Agile methodologies).
Today, besides my currently job, I keep studying Data Science and Data Engineer with books, tutorials and online courses.
and also doing a Master's in Meteorology at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), being part of the Laboratory of Physical Oceanography.
Working within the scope of a R&D project called REMO (Oceanographic Observation and Modeling
Network),
a research group focused on better understand the climate and ocean phenomenas ocurring along the
Brazilian Coast, using data from models and also from meteo-oceanographic buoys, which are part of
the Brazilian National Program Buoys (PNBOIA), a monitoring program focused to collect in-situ
meteorological and oceanographic data.
Duties & Activities:
Web Scraping of environmental data from several sources;
Database Administration and Manipulation;
ETL; Pipeline with python scripts to collect data from API's/WebSites, proccess and store the
data.
T.A. of the Data Science Specialization Course (postgraduate/MBA course), with the role of attending students on their questions about the Spatial Databases course content.
Started as a Junior Data Analyst, had the oppportunity to learn important process of a business
company and also learn about Digital Marketing and Business Intelligence. After the learn process,
worked
with a team focused on use specially Google Analytics data from clients to better understand their
performance
on Ecommerce sales, Branding Awareness and Social Media Performance.
Duties & Activities:
Create and Replicate Dashboards with KPI's and other metrics from clients;
R Scripts to collect data from API's (Google, Facebook, etc);
Process and analyse data to specifc demands;
Create tables on database (Google BigQuery);
Create pipelines of extraction, processing and load data into database (Google BigQuery).

Scientific Initiation Scholarship
Intern during the most part of the undergrad period. Learned, developed and improved skills
such as scientific methodology, critical thinking, work team (in laboratory and in fhe field).

Science
As a 6 weeks summer intern, learned about a Large Scale phenomena in the oceans, called
Rossby
Waves (or Westward Propagating Signal). At this period, part of time was focused on reading
scientific
papers and other part focused on Remote Sensing Data Analysies (Sea Level
Anomaly), .
Search and Study papers related with Rossby Waves.
MatLab programming with receipes provided by the supervisor.
Collect and process Remote Sensing Data (Sea Level Anomaly).
Process georeferenced data data from several scientific cruises and match location/time with the MESOSCALE
EDDY TRAJECTORY ATLAS PRODUCT, finding the locations where Eddies were sampled during
the cruises;
Co-author
The impact of mesoscale eddies on the phytoplankton community in the South Atlantic
Ocean:
HPLC-CHEMTAX approach
Collect and process Remote Sensing Data (Sea Level Anomaly) from AVISO;
Process, analyse and locate the same eddies sampled on a Expedition Cruise in the
MESOSCALE
EDDY TRAJECTORY ATLAS PRODUCT, getting its features (radius, speeed and
activitie days)
Below is a video with both data together and also the eddies studied on the paper
(created with MatLab):
My first contact with Python was in 2016, in my Problem Solving class, at the UniSA. Since then,
I continued studying the language as a part of my path into Tech, however I just started to use
in my
day-to-day work in 2019, when I used the language to collect data from API's, analyse data and
to automate some process at my last job. At my currently job, Python is my main language, where
I use basically for everything, since from ETL to create WebApps and DashBoards.
Although I had contact with R back during my undergraduation, it was just in 2018 that I started to
learn
R with online courses and small projects and in 2019 I started to use as main language at
work.
The Data team that I was part used R for most of the process of the company, so it was a
moment that I
increased
my knowledge and skills in R. At the moment, I continue studying and using R in some
projects of my specialization
course and also some personal projects.
MatLab was the first programming language that I learned. Back some years ago, MatLab was the
main
language in physical oceanography to proccess and analyze meteo-oceanographic and remote
sensing
data, so it was natural to learn this language when I started as a intern at the Laboratory
of
Studies for Ocean and Climate, at my university, FURG. I worked more with this
language in my last years as undergrad student, specially after my period at UNSW
as a summer intern.
My first 3 published papers(and total at the moment), all as co-author, I had the role to
collect and process remote
sensing, geospatial and environmental data. You can check the papers and details
in
here .
Basic knowledge in HTML, CSS and JavaScript, specially to create
web scraping
scripts. Although I never have created a full website (front-end + back-end), I made
this
website with a template from HTML5 UP
website, with several modifications and inclusion of some features.
Experience with DBMS such as Postgres and MySQL, which are the systems that I use at
my
currently work, specially Postgres. I also have experience with Google BigQuery. My
experience and
knowledge with Database are:
