What I'm looking for

I'm looking for challenging opportunities to build AI and data products, apply analytics to meaningful decisions, and continue growing across data science, bioinformatics, and applied research.

I lead AI-driven data products and decision-support systems at NeurAxis, combining machine learning, data engineering, financial modeling, and applied analytics for institutional and corporate clients.

As a postdoctoral researcher at Instituto de Pesquisas Pelé Pequeno Príncipe, I analyze immuno-oncogenomic data from rare and pediatric tumors to support alternative treatments and diagnostic methods. My research focuses on immune response, evasion mechanisms, and in silico analysis across genome, transcriptome, and proteome data.

Previously, I managed end-to-end data-product delivery at Grand Hill and built indicators, reports, dashboards, and database infrastructure at GreenPlat. At GreenPlat, I developed the FleetGreen MVP with Mercedes-Benz for truck-telemetry greenhouse-gas emissions monitoring; it was showcased at FENATRAN 2022 and earned third place in the Green Products category at the Green Mover Award 2024.

I also developed a genetic-testing pipeline at Naoki for Alzheimer’s disease and breast-tumor risk variants, using VCF processing, neural-network predictive models, and automated genetic reports. I bring a PhD in Microbiology, a MITx MicroMasters certificate in Statistics and Data Science, and a sustained curiosity for new challenges.
