Get to know our data analyst.

Born and raised in Niterói, Rio de Janeiro, Victoria has become an expert in data analysis. She has completed data science courses that focused on Python and SQL programming languages. Her passion for mathematics and statistics began at a young age, leading her to pursue a professional career that allows her to apply these areas of knowledge effectively.

By compiling relevant information and interpreting it, Victoria can generate reports that predict problems and solutions, create new growth opportunities, and enhance our users' experience. She achieves this by harnessing algorithms, statistics, and calculations.

The world of online gaming (encompassing betting, casinos, and e-sports) has always fascinated Victoria due to its ability to analyze and even predict user behavior. Victoria's background and passion have led her to join the marketing team at gambling-world right from its inception. Today, she spearheads the statistical analysis and data interpretation division, ensuring continuous improvement of our platform for our valued users.

Professional experience

Victoria began her professional experience in the field of data analysis by working at two South African marketing agencies specialized in Big Data. From 2013 to 2017, she worked as an analyst, simultaneously taking courses focused on the field. Her ultimate goal was to identify opportunities that would help increase the growth of companies and brands. What she learned during this time was enough to make her an expert in the subject.

Throughout various projects with different objectives, Victoria's expertise in statistics, advanced analytics, data wrangling, SQL, and Python proved to be crucial in transforming data into decisions that benefit her clients. Over the years, she has come to understand that data interpretation is the most vital aspect of the process, often overlooked by many analysts. Victoria has learned that it is not only about collecting and analyzing data but also about deriving valuable insights and actionable recommendations from it. Her ability to navigate complex datasets, uncover hidden patterns, and draw meaningful conclusions sets her apart in the field. Victoria's dedication to understanding client needs and delivering impactful results through data-driven strategies has earned her a reputation as a trusted and insightful analyst. With her keen analytical skills and attention to detail, she consistently delivers innovative solutions that drive business growth and success.

In 2017, she was extended an invitation to join gambling-world, becoming a valuable addition to the marketing team. Prior to that, however, she had to acquaint herself with the realm of iGaming, encompassing online casinos, free gaming websites, online betting houses, among others. In this regard, it was imperative to gather a myriad of indispensable information to craft a platform that aligns with the preferences of its users.

Role and functions of casinos in South Africa.

Victoria is in charge of gathering, compiling, analyzing, and interpreting the data we receive from users of Gambling World, as well as further defining our target audience through more extensive research. For instance, she verifies the sources through which readers arrived, the type of content they consumed, and the interactions they had, in search of patterns. Based on these patterns, our marketing team can create more targeted online campaigns with a higher likelihood of engagement.

Furthermore, the patterns examined by Victoria can also be utilized to enhance the user experience on the website continuously. As a result, after conducting data analysis and formulating interpretations, Victoria engages in discussions with the marketing team, led by our CMO, Yuuma, concerning the potential impact of each decision made. By doing so, they ensure that the website's programming team can consistently refine and improve the users' experience.

In addition, Victoria's responsibilities involve developing efficient facilities and effective solutions for data processing and analysis, establishing the platform's database, and keeping abreast of Júlia and Yasmin's undertaken projects, providing data whenever pertinent. Lastly, she must report her analyses to the team whenever feasible to guide collaborative endeavors.

I love being able to work remotely, but I believe the best part of working at gambling-world is being part of a wonderful team. We have people from various parts of the world who are so different from each other and have been to so many different places. Everyone is a great professional, each an expert in their field, and everyone has incredible ideas and great stories to tell. Meeting these people and being part of this team was the highlight of 2017 for me.
I believe the biggest challenge was the initial goal, which is to create the site. The immense complexity of building an ambitious platform like gambling-world requires the work and effort of many professionals. Our entire team has essential roles and responsibilities for the growth and reach of the site. It's not enough to create the platform and leave it to its own devices. It is necessary to gather and use tools from all areas (statistics, content, marketing, design, and programming) and constantly update it to keep it interesting and relevant to users.
I love Blackjack, which we call 21 in South Africa. It's very addictive, and once you start playing and understand how to do well in the game, you don't want to stop. Every win is a thrill.
