Cartography and GIS Technician

Ibama — Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources · Indirect contract

Brasília, Federal District, Brazil · On-site

Allocated at CENIMA — National Center for Environmental Monitoring and Information. I worked in environmental monitoring through remote sensing — photointerpretation, vectorization, satellite image compositions, and production of thematic maps and image charts. I also developed geospatial analyses and solutions with programming, documentation and version control: new features, updates and routines for satellite-based deforestation-alert systems, and automated maps for field operations. Outsourced, hired by G4F Soluções Corporativas.

Who I am

Portrait of Vagner Teixeira — Vagner Teixeira · Brasília-DF

Geographer (BSc) and Master (MSc) in Applied Geosciences and Geodynamics from the University of Brasília (UnB), with a career focused on geoprocessing, geospatial solution development and data analysis.

At IBAMA, I built solutions to support field operations and products within the PAMGIA platform. I also implemented Rizoma — an automated route-map generator built in R and Python — as a new feature of the Crotalus system for automated deforestation-alert prioritization.

My master's research focused on mobility structures and urban networks.
