Douglas Mesquita
Statistician & R Developer
I'm a statistician and software developer passionate about R, spatial statistics, and building tools that make data analysis more accessible. I've worked on a wide range of projects. From academic research in biostatistics and spatial confounding to building production Shiny applications.
About
I hold a PhD in Statistics from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), where my research focused on spatial confounding in disease mapping models. My work spans theoretical statistics, applied data analysis, and software development.
On the software side, I develop R packages and Shiny applications, contributing to open-source projects and building tools for data visualization and statistical analysis. I enjoy bridging the gap between complex statistical methods and accessible, practical tools.
When I'm not coding or thinking about statistics, you'll find me playing football, footvolley or cooking.
