About Me
I'm a Senior Software Engineer at Pearson, providing technical leadership on a student-facing learning platform while staying hands-on in implementation and code review. Before that, at Wiise Well, I built the software and MLOps infrastructure around failure-prediction models for offshore equipment: MLflow model lifecycle and model bank, deployment, and integration into business systems. Earlier, I was the lead developer of the first Brazilian platform for dynamic innovation management (Lotik), and I co-founded and helped lead a web3 hosting service until its acquisition in 2023.
