Staff Data Scientist at Stone building AI products for merchant growth, including predictive scoring and AI-assisted sales workflows.
What I'm looking for
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.

Ph.D. in Computational Science, focusing on knowledge graph inference using machine learning. My research aimed to create models that predict the truth value of facts within evolving knowledge graphs, with applications in areas like drug repurposing and recommendation systems. This work combines machine learning with real-world challenges to improve decision-making across various fields.
I worked on a research project funded by Petrobras to develop a platform for managing the entire lifecycle of machine learning models, from data preparation to deployment. In addition to conducting academic research, I was involved in various tasks such as defining use cases, data modeling, and implementing prototypes
Master's in computational science with a focus on performance evaluation of graph processing platforms. Beyond planning and executing software performance evaluation, I also analyzed networked data. One of the byproducts of this work was a methodology to suggest which platform was well-suited to a given network dataset (according to features such as scale, clustering coefficient, and diameter) and
Development and performance evaluation of parallel graph algorithms.
