Augusto Lustosa
@augustolustosa
I am an AI researcher and ML engineer specializing in time-series forecasting for energy applications.
What I'm looking for
I am an AI researcher and machine learning engineer focused on time-series forecasting and probabilistic prediction for oil and energy applications. I lead development of point and probabilistic forecasting methods, integrate AI research with industry standards, and publish in journals and conferences.
As a postdoctoral researcher and former professor and full-stack engineer, I combine academic rigor (RNN, LSTM, GRU, Transformers) with production experience building RESTful APIs with Laravel and Node.js and frontends in Vue.js and Angular. I collaborate with cross-functional teams to deliver production-ready models, integrate AI modules into systems, and create stakeholder dashboards.
