Hello! I'm Marcelo Prates, a data scientist and generative artist / creative coder based in Brazil!

I'm mostly interested in creating maps, abstract artworks, scientific visualizations & infographics, usually using Python / matplotlib and occasionally Processing, Julia and Haskell. Check my portfolio to see some of my creations.

I'm the creator of the open-source prettymaps Python library, which enables anyone to create customized maps from OpenStreetMap data in just a few lines of code. Prettymaps is ranked among the 2200 most starred Github repositories, with over 8000 stars!
