The most amazing...
...I've done is lead the development of the Brazilian government's Single Foreign Trade Portal, which admittedly reduced bureaucracy costs of exports and imports.
Work Experience
Data Scientist (Tax Officer)
Federal Revenue Service of Brazil
- Led the development of the Brazilian government website "Portal Siscomex" (portalunico.siscomex.gov.br) aimed to reduce bureaucracy costs and increase the efficiency of imports and exports.
- Built a machine learning model based on supervised learning to identify signs of tax evasion from individual taxpayers.
- Led the restructuring of the tax collection division, which comprised 230 members. Local teams were transformed into seven remote teams specialized by subject, which led to an increase in productivity of 20% in the first three months of operation.
- Worked on audit case selection and taxpayer compliance, mainly using Python and SQL (Big Data) to apply data mining techniques to understand better, process, and conclude vast amounts of information.
Senior Software Engineer

- Tracked and fixed bugs using a multi-level logging strategy.
- Created the software design specifications for new features, including VoIP and RAB modification.
Test Lead
Siemens
- Led outsourced test teams consisting of 2-6 members. Participated in several projects with suppliers, including AppMenu for the Siemens cell phone main menu, JSR 238, and JSR 172.
- Developed unit testing using the JUnit/J2MEUnit framework.
- Applied the Scrum framework for agile software management and development.
- Defined and deployed testing strategies for each project.
Software Engineer
Motorola Mobility
- Coordinated and implemented a six-month project to port the GSM messaging component to the Motorola 3G platform, regarded as one of the greatest achievements of Motorola R&D Brazil in 2004.
- Developed messaging features such as SMS, EMS, and MMS for Motorola mobile phones using the C programming language in a Unix environment.
- Tracked and fixed bugs related to messaging features.
- Used computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools for software development, including Rational Rose, ClearCase for version control, and ClearDDTS for bug tracking.
Experience
Government Website
https://portalunico.siscomex.gov.br/Secrets Web App
https://github.com/cleytonap/secretsIt is a simple authentication app with user login, logout, registration, and access control to be a starting point for other more complex Node.js applications. It supports two Passport.js strategies for user authentication, including local (username and password) and Google (OAut2.0). Data is persisted into the MongoDB database using Mongoose.
Containerized RESTful API (Demo)
