BiLD Big Data Academy brought me everything I was looking for at this early point in my career, an opportunity to learn and grow, integrating a young and forward-thinking team, with a very strong base of interpersonal relationships and friendship of the entire group. The academy and the subsequent integration in BiLD’s team was excellent and I can only be grateful for the trust placed in each one of us and all the support that was given to us. Diogo Neves

The opportunity to join BiLD Analytics was a challenging surprise. As an Industrial Engineer, working with data is not the most trivial path. The Academy was the chance to be taught by highly skilled professionals and discover a new universe, where I could integrate my analytical reasoning with tools capable of optimizing several processes. With an incredible team, I can say that my professional and personal development in the space of two months was the best experienced to date. Amanda Anjos
