What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role where I can further develop my skills in machine learning or automation while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated Software Engineer at Bemol, a leading Brazilian retail company, where I focus on enhancing employee productivity and efficiency through innovative technology solutions. With a degree in Computer Engineering from Universidade do Estado do Amazonas, I have developed a strong foundation in cutting-edge technologies, particularly in Machine Learning and Robotic Process Automation (RPA).

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that significantly improved operational efficiency, such as a facial recognition system that reduced cashier attendance time from 18 seconds to just 4 seconds. I am passionate about leveraging technology to solve complex problems and am known for my ability to communicate effectively and share knowledge within teams.
