I build Python automation and applied AI systems for mission-critical business processes.
What I'm looking for
At UNIMINUTO, I build Python and Playwright RPAs that process 164,000+ SAP ARIBA document rows, automate Oracle-driven certificate generation, and reduce bot build time from 15 days to 2 days through reusable architecture. I also lead Python development and design centralized APIs and spec-driven foundations for agentic AI projects.
Across CGI, Teleperformance, Accenture, and consulting roles, I’ve delivered automation, churn modeling, voice and text mining, data integrations, and cloud-migration architecture. I’m transitioning into AI/ML engineering, building on 7+ years in RPA and data engineering and my master’s thesis on hybrid recommendation engines using NLP and Knowledge Graphs.
