What I'm looking for

I'm particularly interested in intelligent systems that combine structure, language, and scale, especially for search, recommendation, or knowledge inference.

At Stone, I build AI and data products for merchant acquisition, sales productivity, and growth decisions. My work includes predictive scoring, AI-assisted sales workflows, and impact measurement products that help commercial teams prioritize opportunities and evaluate lead quality.

At Jusbrasil, I contributed to language model pretraining, in-house embeddings, and production deployment of large language models. I also developed generative AI solutions for document drafting and improved RAG applications through document expansion and segmentation.

At Globo, I worked on platforms that generate metadata from news media, contributing to knowledge graphs, audio transcription, and content classification. My PhD research at LNCC focused on machine learning for knowledge graph inference, with applications including drug repurposing and recommendation systems.
