Problema

The State of Ceará runs social programs at serious scale — Cartão Mais Infância alone reaches ~150,000 families, Vale Gás Social has served 450,000+ — but the data behind them lived in internal systems. The government needed a public, transparent window into social-protection data: dashboards for decision-makers and citizens alike, covering indicators across all 184 municipalities.

Resultado

Big Data Social became the public face of Ceará's social-protection data and a daily tool for government teams, who use its dashboards to guide program decisions. The portal today reports 119,000+ families visited across 182 municipalities and R$193M/year in tracked investment.

Destaques

  • ✦Built the public portal and the Analíticos e Anuários dashboard module on a React SPA
  • ✦Data visualization with D3, Visx, and interactive Leaflet choropleth maps of all 184 municipalities
  • ✦Kept dense dashboards responsive with memoized, virtualization-aware rendering over pre-aggregated data
  • ✦Accessibility as a requirement, not a feature — screen-reader support and VLibras integration for a statewide public audience

README

Overview

Big Data Social is the Ceará State Government's public analytics platform for social protection: dashboards, indicators, and maps that make the state's social-program data transparent to citizens and actionable for public managers. I worked on it for two years as a front-end engineer at a data-science lab, on a multidisciplinary team of designers, data scientists, and back-end engineers.

What I built

  • The public portal — the platform's front door: program statistics, and an interactive choropleth map showing Cartão Mais Infância coverage across the state's municipalities.
  • Analíticos e Anuários — the indicator dashboard module: visual panels covering social benefits, education, housing, work, and income.

Hard problems

  • Data visualization at scale — dashboards aggregate data about hundreds of thousands of families across 184 municipalities. The data team served pre-aggregated endpoints; on the front end, memoized and virtualization-aware rendering kept dense D3/Visx charts and Leaflet maps responsive.
  • An audience of everyone — a government platform serves every citizen, on any device. That meant screen-reader-friendly markup and VLibras (Brazilian Sign Language) integration as requirements, and data design that non-technical citizens can read.

Outcome

The platform shipped publicly and became a daily tool for the government's social-protection teams — the dashboards I built are part of how program decisions get made and communicated. As of today the portal reports 119,000+ families visited across 182 municipalities, ~150,000 families on Cartão Mais Infância, and R$193M/year in tracked investment.
