I am skilled user of computational software STATA, R, Python, SPSS, Maple and QGIS. I am well equipped to do web development for scientific applications in Python (NumPy/SciPy/Pandas) and django frameworks. I do all my academic writing on LaTeX and project management on Trello. I can use the following Application Programming Interfaces (APIs): Twitter, Facebook, Google APIs, Reddit, Yelp!
I have research interests in Economics of Immigration, Labour Economics and Development Economics. Please get in touch with me to talk about your research topics or simply to talk economics (@steinmonteiro | steim@torontomu.ca)

Tableau Public Dashboards
I occasionally make dashboards as a presentation tool, for teaching and knowledge mobilization. Please visit my Tableau Public page HERE to preview some of the data dashboards I have produced.
In my previous work as a Statistician with Institutional Research and Planning at Humber College I integrated Tableau with R and Python to create dynamic data dashboards to create business intelligence tools for program planners and management. I also connected Tableau with internal data resources to create a real-time workflow within the organization.
