About my background
I hold a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Poli/USP (2009) and a B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Regional University of Blumenau (2000). I have more than 20 years of experience in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence projects across finance, internet, public safety, education, and human resources.
For seven years, I was Technical Leader of IBM’s Watson group, coordinating AI initiatives in Latin America. These included solutions that exceeded 100 million user interactions in four years and projects recognized by The New York Times as disruptive uses of AI in museums.
I am currently a faculty member at Insper, working in ML and AI research and teaching, with publications in specialist journals and conferences.
