The most amazing...
...thing I've done was develop end-to-end machine learning pipelines for cancer detection—from data selection for labeling to deployment on Kubernetes.
Work Experience
Senior ML Engineer
HARRISON-AI
- Handled the end-to-end pipeline for cancer detection, including labeling with V7, model building for semantic segmentation using Hugging Face, and deployment on Kubernetes using FastAPI.
- Contributed to an evaluation system for the CT brain classification model. Built internal Python library for multiple hypothesis statistical testing.
- Led a series of transformer-based experiments for embryo selection to improve the performance of a production system based on Inception3D. The ViViT experiments led to a better model, which was later moved to production.
- Built a chat application based on semantic search using an LLM to aid clinicians in finding medical reports containing specific cases of interest. The application was used to perform case selection for image labeling.
- Contributed to a chatbot for retrieving medical cases based on semantic search using OpenAI ChatGPT and LangChain.
Senior ML Engineer
Jungle Scout
- Developed an MLOps system for automatic model evaluation and promotion for an eCommerce weekly model training pipeline using SageMaker, MLflow, Kedro, and Airflow.
- Productized deep learning models for time series eCommerce models based on PyTorch Lightning and SageMaker.
- Created a new model serving pipeline based on the MLflow model registry and SageMaker endpoints, with Lambda and an API gateway for scaling and Datadog monitoring.
- Created a model performance dashboard based on Plotly Dash and Redis. Deployed on Fargate.
Senior Data Scientist
BCGX
- Used stereo vision and image segmentation on satellite imagery to aid an infrastructure company in vegetation management. The system was used to map the risk of vegetation encroachment with assets.
- Developed a Twitter analysis dashboard to measure tweet sentiments, a network of influencers, and visualize trends per tag/time to aid strategic designers in research.
- Developed a gradient-boosting model for activity classification using sensor data for a supply chain startup. The system was used to track illegal activity at different points in the supply chain.
- Built image classification models for crop recognition and crop pest/disease recognition for a farming startup. The system supported advisory for smallholder farmers in Southeast Asia.
- Built a recommender system for a cashback program startup, enabling personalization of content to drive engagement in the platform.
- Created a performance dashboard for a farming startup using Data Studio and BigQuery.
Senior Machine Learning Consultant
Servian
- Developed and deployed a churn model using gradient boosting for an insurance company.
- Developed and deployed a convolutional network for customer spending forecasting using TensorFlow, Ansible, Docker, ECS, DynamoDB, and PostgreSQL.
- Developed and deployed a text classification system using a convolutional model using TensorFlow and Spark.
- Designed a data science strategy for a major financial institution. Mentored junior data scientists.
- Explored a large corpus of insurance claims data using association rule mining, topic modeling, semantic similarity, and other text mining techniques.
- Created a open domain chatbot based on machine comprehension (Facebook's DrQA) using PyTorch, Flask, React, and DialogFlow.
- Assisted in the development of a person tracking system using Yolo v2 and Kalman filters for a major Australian retail company.
- Assisted with a markdown system based on demand forecasting using Facebook's Prophet and revenue optimization using mixed-integer linear programming.
Data Scientist
Mojo Power
- Developed and deployed a serverless linear model for load forecasting using Python, NumPy, and AWS Lambda.
- Created a proof-of-concept Hidden Markov Model for load disaggregation.
- Developed a model for credit scoring of energy customers.
- Developed and deployed an LSTM model for load forecasting using PyTorch.
- Developed dashboards for analytics reporting on energy usage using Tableau.
- Used topic modeling for exploratory data analysis of customer reviews.
- Worked on a PoC for solar panel detection on satellite images using Facebook's Detectron.
Quantitative Developer
Macquarie Bank
- Parsed and analyzed unstructured data of logs of order execution into SQL Server.
- Back-tested optimal execution strategies.
- Developed a Plotly dashboard to visualize market data.
- Tested and investigated new trading strategies.
- Tested machine learning algorithms for commodities trading.
Quantitative Researcher
Comissão de Valores Mobiliários
- Developed regulatory research studies using statistical modeling (estimation and hypothesis testing).
- Created market risk reports and visualizations with time series analysis and forecasting using R.
- Elaborated a risk monitoring system using Monte Carlo simulation and statistical estimation using Java.
- Developed a data warehouse to aggregate data related to market risk and development of BI reports using BusinessObjects.
- Led a data governance group to discover and catalog data sources across the whole organization.
Business Analyst
Brazilian Institute of Metrology
- Worked with operational teams to develop scripts to collect metrics from operational processes and automate reporting. Scripts were based on Python and PowerShell.
- Built Cognos dashboards to monitor business KPIs related to operational processes. Also made custom Jupyter Notebooks for additional data analysis.
- Created a simplified database/warehouse using SQLite to aggregate data from multiple spreadsheets and support live business dashboards.
