@joohenrique2
AI Engineer at Celesta Mineração S.A. building production LLM and RAG systems, including a Semantic Bridge that reached 100% precision.
What I'm looking for
At Celesta Mineração S.A., I built a Semantic Bridge that matches unstructured equipment manuals to structured telemetry, reaching 100% precision against a 70% regex baseline. I also developed a Data Steward Agent with grammar-constrained extraction and human review for low-confidence outputs.
At AYA Tech, I built a multimodal LLM sales agent for Match, a recruitment company, and architected a digital transformation for NAZCA. I joined as the first engineer and grew into the Technical Leader role, coordinating developers and working directly with stakeholders.
At Soap Health (now Medome), I built core components of a real-time clinical voice engine used by a platform with 20,000+ users, integrating voice processing with Electronic Health Records to automate SOAP notes. My projects include Oraculo, a multi-agent SaaS platform, and Sanvera, which reduced physician administrative time by 66%. I'm available for remote B2B contract work across worldwide time zones.
