Olá, I’m Felipe
Finance background, analytics work.
I spent nearly four years as a financial advisor before moving into analytics, so my work sits where data, finance, and decision-making meet.
Based in Charlotte, NC
Projects
Selected projects
Rocket Launch Dashboard
Live
I like rockets, so I built a dashboard that tracks launches and other interesting info. A free, automated pipeline pulls launch data from a public API using Python, transforms it with SQL, and updates the dashboard with no server or database.
Independent portfolio project
In the real world
The same fetch, transform, and publish steps run behind most dashboards a data team keeps alive, and this one is also handy for anyone who chases launches and wants to know what's going up next, from where, and how many have flown this year.

Chestnuts
I built a fictional, Acorns-inspired investing app, generated its data from scratch, and used it to find where new users get stuck before their first investment.
Independent portfolio project · Fully synthetic data
In the real world
Most of a product analyst's week looks like this, where the team asks why people sign up but never invest, and the job is to turn that into a question the data can answer, find the step where people get stuck, and then test a fix.

Exploring Asheville Airbnbs
Using SQL, Excel, and Tableau to shortlist areas for a hypothetical travel company's accommodation partnerships.
Portfolio case study — hypothetical business scenario
In the real world
Travel and partnerships teams do this before anyone picks up the phone, taking a messy public dataset and narrowing a whole city down to the few areas worth calling hosts in, while being upfront about what reviews can and can't say about bookings.

About me
How I got here.
I was born and raised in Brazil. After four years as a financial advisor, I found myself increasingly drawn to the analytical side of the profession, from regression modeling to client returns and overall financial health, and that pull is what led me to pursue my higher education in the United States.
I earned my bachelor’s at Rollins College in Orlando and then my MBA in Financial Analytics & Modeling at UNC Charlotte. There I worked as a graduate research assistant, building data pipelines and supporting research for the chair of the Department of Marketing, which gave me the chance to apply my data cleaning, transformation, and analytics skills to real-world deliverables.
Since then, I’ve kept building projects around questions I found interesting enough to dig into. I’m looking for data and business analyst roles where I can use my finance background to understand customers, improve operations, and guide decisions. I’m especially drawn to companies building new technology.
Off the clockI love playing tennis. I have a backhand like Federer’s, but that’s where our similarities stop.
