Davi Augusto

Data scientist & statistician in training.

I love turning real-world problems into questions that data can answer. I work end to end, from collecting and preparing data to modeling with machine learning and AI, always with statistical rigor and clear communication of results.

I’m a Statistics student at UFRGS (Brazil), graduating in December 2026. I started in 2019 as a programming apprentice at Grupo RBS, already building reports and dashboards, and have been moving towards where code meets statistics ever since: analyses, KPIs, dashboards and predictive models, with stops at EVCOMX and Auroque Investimentos.

Today I’m at Sicredi, in Social, Environmental and Climate Risk, training and refining machine learning and forecasting models and automating analytical routines. For my thesis, I’m investigating what makes a game popular on Steam, with more than 170k apps collected through its API.

I care about reproducible analysis: code, text and results side by side, so anyone can check how I got to every number.
