🎓 I'm Luiz, a Data Scientist, Developer and Numpy Contributor. My fascination with code started way back, and over the past 10 years I've honed my skills in building and maintaining vision-based sensor systems. But my true passion lies in the exciting world where AI meets the physical realm.
🏆 When I need a mental challenge, I turn to the world of competitive programming and Capture the Flag (CTF) competitions. The thrill of solving problems under pressure and the camaraderie of the competitive coding community really energize me.
👨💻 Beyond the code, I'm a firm believer in the power of open-source communities. Contributing to open-source projects in Python, Rust, Elixir, Ruby and JavaScript fuels my fire (I've even got packages published in some of them!). You might also find my contributions to Numpy, SciPy - or maybe somewhere else in the vast GitHub universe.
When I'm not elbow-deep in code, you'll likely find me with my wife and dog:
