I hold a bachelor's degree1 in Systems Engineering, a master's degree2 in Computational Intelligence and a PhD3 in Optimization, all from Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG), with visiting research experience at the University of Bristol. I currently serve as Associate Director of Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence at BTG Pactual. With over 10 years of research and development experience, my work spans computer vision, data science, machine learning, deep learning, operations research and optimization. In my free time, I like training Brazilian jiu jitsu, skateboarding, traveling, cooking and enjoying a good cup of coffee. Feel free to get in touch!
