What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an applied AI role where I can build RAG and document/vision systems, validate models with strong metrics, and ship reproducible, well-documented solutions.

I’m an AI/ML Engineer with a multidisciplinary background and an ongoing Ph.D. in Software Engineering at CESAR School. My focus is Generative AI, NLP, and Computer Vision, with a strong drive to build practical systems from research.

In my current role at CESAR School (2025–Present), I conduct applied research and develop end-to-end solutions. I built and evaluated a multi-hop RAG pipeline using the MuSiQue benchmark, documenting retrieval, correctness, and faithfulness metrics.

I also prototype AI that automates real workflows—like EasyInvoiceAI, integrating image and PDF processing with Google Gemini to produce structured JSON output. On the computer vision side, I’ve designed a deforestation detection project using U-Net and performed a quantitative comparison between YOLOv8 (Roboflow) and Gemini Flash for facial emotion classification.

Across projects, I combine technical depth in Python and ML with clear communication and thorough technical documentation. I enjoy translating business problems into implementable models, experiments, and results that are reproducible and measurable.
