@camilaalvesdias
Machine Learning Engineer driving production-scale deep learning for digital health, fraud detection, and AI R&D.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Machine Learning Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing, training, and deploying deep learning systems at scale across digital health, fraud detection, and computer vision. I bring a full ML lifecycle mindset—feature engineering, CNN/RNN/Transformers model design, deployment, and production monitoring.
At Samsung Brasil, I’m currently driving AI R&D for digital wellness, architecting sleep-stage classification models from large-scale physiological signals and building end-to-end feature engineering pipelines to improve robustness across diverse user profiles. I translate state-of-the-art biosignal research into practical architecture iterations that move accuracy forward, and I collaborate closely to integrate models into health platforms.
Previously, I delivered measurable impact at Globo and ClearSale by building ML-driven fraud detection systems and scalable MLOps pipelines, including BigQuery ETL for near-real-time analytics and CI/CD pipelines that reduced deployment cycles from days to hours. I’m also a PhD researcher in medical AI (dermatology + NLP), blending award-winning academic depth with industry execution.
