What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production AI/ML systems where I can apply computer vision, MLOps, and scalable full‑stack development in collaborative, impact‑driven teams.

I am a software developer and researcher combining machine learning with real-world applications to help people and improve processes. My background in engineering led me to specialize in AI, computer vision, and high-performance computing for embedded and web systems.

At IFAM and in industry roles I design, train, and deploy deep learning models (PyTorch, TensorFlow) and build end-to-end systems using Django, FastAPI, Docker and Kubernetes. I have delivered solutions for sign language translation, assistive navigation, and industrial energy forecasting.

I implement MLOps practices, work with large feature databases and IoT sensor data, and build scalable ETL pipelines and APIs. I contribute to research projects on RISC-V vector processing and democratizing bioinformatics with AI-driven reporting.

I collaborate across international teams in Portuguese, English, and Spanish, and focus on creating accessible, production-ready AI systems that integrate into real-world workflows.
