I’m a data scientist based in Newcastle, Australia, driven by a passion for innovation and creative solutions to complex problems. I thrive on learning new things and crafting engaging content. By day, I apply my wizardry at Hachiko; by night, you might find me playing games with family, experimenting at the piano, or sneaking in time to write speculative fiction.
Expertizes
Data Science
I have more than ten years of experience with large-scale data analytics, statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and optimisation for different industries such as information technology, transportation, banking, oil & gas, and energy.
High-Performance Computing
I have practical experience with job scheduling and parallel programming for large-scale computer systems such as HPC clusters and massively parallel databases. I used to run complex simulations and time-consuming data processing on such systems. I am familiar with most obstacles associated with scalability.
Research & Innovation
I’m a skilled researcher with more than ten years of experience in the technology industry. I have published several papers in well-known conferences and journals and more than 30 patents in the US Patent and Trademark office.
Writing
I continually practise my writing skills as I’m on a personal journey to become a novel writer. I have already published a few short fiction in Portuguese, my primary language. I’m also working on publishing in English.
Experiences
Head of Data Science at Hachiko
2025 – Present
At Hachiko, we simplify the funding, deployment, and operation of battery systems. I lead our data science efforts, developing optimisation and forecasting models to maximise renewable energy use and drive investment in the commercial and industrial sectors.
Consultant Data Scientist at Dell
2014 – 2020
I was one of the expert data scientists in the global P&O CTO at Dell Technologies. Recognised as a distinguished member of the technical staff, I led data science projects to enhance Dell’s portfolio with artificial intelligence. Moreover, I worked on data science projects for customers from different industries such as banking, oil & gas, and transportation.
Head of Data Science at Evergen
2020 – 2024
I lead the data science team at Evergen. We are responsible for several optimisation algorithms designed for energy arbitrage and VPP management. Moreover, we are constantly improving our ML prediction models for various purposes.
Senior Researcher at COPPE
2011 – 2013
During my years as a doctorate student, I worked on projects in collaboration with the most significant Brazilian oil & gas company. I was responsible for developing workflow management systems to execute large-scale simulations in HPC clusters. I also worked with data visualisation on tiled-wall displays. Moreover, I supervised other students and conducted several presentations on different forums.
Let’s make something together.
