What I'm looking for

I'm looking to keep building reliable AI systems through LLM evaluation, model training, data quality, and data-driven process improvement, while leading cross-functional teams and deepening my technical work in machine learning and software engineering.

At Nubank, I lead large-scale AI and LLM initiatives, coordinating 80+ professionals across projects focused on data quality, model evaluation, and AI training. I define evaluation strategies, analyze quality metrics, identify patterns in model outputs, and turn findings into recommendations for stakeholders and clients.

I’ve grown from data operations into analytics, AI/ML, and team leadership, with hands-on work in Python, SQL, BigQuery, Databricks, data labeling, and machine learning. I also created data science learning content for Rocketseat and continue deepening my technical foundation through postgraduate study in Data Science and Analytics and Software Engineering at USP.
