Marcelo Paludetto
@marcelopaludetto
Curriculum & product specialist blending K-12 CS education, AI, and automation.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Curriculum & Product Specialist focused on K-12 Computer Science, AI, and automation, combining curriculum design and product work with applied AI. With an engineering background (B.Eng. and M.Eng., UTFPR), I’ve spent more than five years building and scaling education offerings tied to national standards.
I built a national CS content operation from the ground up—authoring 100+ lessons—and later coordinated content production across multiple education segments at scale. I’m deeply grounded in BNCC Computing standards and I focus on assessments and learning materials that clearly map to those competencies.
Today, I lead the innovation track for the product: designing a new computing and AI curriculum for 2027 and connecting curriculum, product, and technology. I also drive an AI-powered automation program using N8N to cut about 60 hours of manual operational work per month across content publishing, learning-path descriptions, and exercise generation.
Along the way, I’ve worked closely with public education systems and government partners, representing the product in strategic engagements with state education departments and the federal Ministry of Education. I’ve also led teacher professional development and served as a lead technical reference for content, mentoring teams and improving delivery through metrics, workflow redesigns, and stakeholder management.
