About Me

I'm a Tech Lead at Kunumi with experience in many fields of machine learning and data science, such as time-series prediction, anomaly detection, natural language processing and reinforcement learning, developing methods to analyze, model and get insights from all types of data, while also developing software to extract value from the models created. As a Data Scientist I was able to work developing tools and frameworks to boost other data scientists productivity, while also developing bank credit scoring models, medical assistance models and more. I'm also motivated by challenges and believe that a new problem is always an opportunity to learn and discover new solutions.

I have a Masters Degree in Computer Science by the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) with focus in Deep Learning where I studied Information Retrieval, Recommender Systems, Data Visualization and Machine Learning. While in college, I studied abroad for a year, in the University of Roma Tre, in Italy.

Professionally, I aim to become a personal and technical reference for my colleagues and those who are beginning in the field, while also positively impacting as many people as possible with my work.
