Context

Long-form digital reporting only exists if someone builds the piece — and the quality of that build is part of what juries evaluate.

Intervention

As Technology Coordinator at Metrópoles (2018–2019) and Web Analyst at Correio Braziliense (2017–2018), technical construction of immersive editorial specials, along with coordinating the team.

Outcome — three national journalism awards:

Year Award Category Work
2019 2º Prêmio ANPTrilhos de Jornalismo Digital Media A tragédia de Mariana (MG) vista pela janela do trem
2018 25º Prêmio CNT de Jornalismo Internet Caminhoneiras, codinome coragem
2017 24º Prêmio CNT de Jornalismo Environment and Transportation Ciclovias em busca de uma cidade

Why it matters

It is the most concrete evidence of the intersection between a background in Graphic Design and engineering: all three awards come from journalism bodies, not technology ones — the recognition came from the whole piece working, not from the code in isolation.

Role

Technology coordination and development of the pieces.
