Fully remote Data Scientist, AI Engineer or Data Engineer role where data and AI are core to the product. I want to take ML and LLM solutions from prototype to production: data pipelines, RAG and GenAI apps, predictive models. I value ownership, async communication and continuous learning. Contractor, no visa sponsorship needed, full overlap with US hours.

Data Scientist, AI & Data Engineer | LLMs, RAG, Machine Learning | Python, SQL, PySpark, Databricks, Airflow
What I'm looking for
I turn messy data into reliable pipelines and AI that actually works in production.
Many companies invest in Generative AI, LLMs and Machine Learning, but their projects never leave the demo stage because the data behind them is scattered, unreliable or late. That is exactly the gap I close.
As a Data Scientist, AI Engineer and Data Engineer, I build the full path, from data ingestion, ETL/ELT and data modeling to the predictive model or AI application that delivers results:
• Built and optimized Big Data financial pipelines with SQL, Oracle PL/SQL and Teradata for a bank serving ~8 million members
• Developed batch data pipelines with Python, PySpark, Databricks and Delta Lake, orchestrated in Apache Airflow with data quality checks, monitoring and CI/CD
• Shipped LLM and RAG applications to production, with embeddings, vector databases, semantic search, prompt engineering, validation and human review
• Published a peer-reviewed Machine Learning study: a Random Forest classification model with 91.42% accuracy, using feature engineering and cross-validation
Tech stack: Python, SQL, PySpark, Apache Spark, Databricks, Airflow, dbt, Pandas, Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, LangChain, FastAPI, Docker, PostgreSQL, AWS, Azure and GCP.
Background: MBA in Data Science and Analytics (University of São Paulo), Bachelor's in Economics with a strong statistics foundation, and Microsoft Azure AZ-900 certification.
Open to remote Data Scientist, AI Engineer, Data Engineer and Machine Learning Engineer roles, as a contractor with no visa sponsorship needed. Let's talk: send me a message here.
