Luiz Eduardo Amaral

Hi there 👋

🚀 About Me

🎓 I’m Luiz, a Data Scientist and Developer. My fascination with code started way back, and over 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 tinkering on projects for Google, MDN, and scikit-learn – or maybe somewhere else in the vast GitHub universe.

When I’m not elbow-deep in code, you’ll likely find me:

⛰️ Exploring the outdoors: Nature is my happy place, and there’s nothing quite like a good hike or adventure to clear my head and spark new ideas.
🍔 Whipping up delicious meals: Food is more than just sustenance – it’s an experience! I love experimenting in the kitchen and sharing my culinary creations with friends and family.
✈️ Venturing off on new travel adventures: The world is a vast and exciting place, and I’m always eager to explore new cultures, landscapes, and experiences.
🏃🏻‍♂️ Enjoying a good challenge: running offers a chance to truly push me forward. Each stride pushes me past my perceived limits. Every run is a battle, a test of my will, leaving me exhilarated by the victories I achieve.

Open Source Libraries

One of my joys is to build a tool that is useful for myself and take an extra step to publish it for everyone to use. I have several published libraries and each one of them has helped me acomplish something:
