I turn hard-to-verify market, policy and business questions into decision-ready analysis. Bring me in when sources conflict, data are incomplete, and the output must be strong enough for a client, board, investor, donor or strategy team. My work spans UN-level policy analytics, Fortune 500-facing market intelligence, geoeconomic risk frameworks, supplier validation, market sizing, public opinion analysis and executive-ready presentations. I deliver verified research reports, market maps, company dossiers, datasets, dashboards, strategic briefs and analytical frameworks.

I design domain-safe AI agents and forward indicators that surface policy & market shifts 3-6 months before official data. As a PhD economist and AI expert, I build forward-looking indicators, AI agents causal models that reveal economic turning points 3–6 months ahead of official statistics—and validate them with high correlation. I’ve uncovered billions in public-fund misuse by merging unconventional datasets, and my prompt-engineering playbooks now guide workflows inside multiple client firms. Engagements begin with a 60-minute diagnostic call, proceed through a scoped proposal, data audit, and milestone deliveries— memo, dashboards—culminating in a debrief and hand off. I respond within 24 hours on business days, and offer an optional monthly retainer for indicator updates and GPT maintenance. Message me to schedule your strategy call. Key Deliverables • AI Economic Agents – Autonomous GPT/LangChain stacks that cut analyst hours ≥ 70 % • Alt Data Index Design – Boost alpha by up to 15 % with nontraditional signals • Regulatory RAG Systems – Cut review cycles 80 % with traceable AI-based retrieval • AI Accelerated Forecasting – Drop RMSE by ≈ 66 % in economic models • Synthetic Microdata Generation – Enable safe benchmarking with zero PII leakage • GPT Workflow Integration – Raise team productivity 50 % via custom AI tooling Trusted by multilateral banks, federal and state agencies, global hedge funds, and Brazil’s leading firms in agriculture, banking, consumer goods, and manufacturing—across forecasting, infrastructure, policy, and AI automation initiatives.
