| Summary | Machine learning specialist with considerable experience in backend software development. Finished my PhD in Artificial Intelligence with a full scholarship by CAPES, in which I tackled the problem of multi-agent deep reinforcement learning with heterogeneous agents in cooperative tasks using graph neural networks. Active for many years in robotics competitions (LARC and RoboCup) in the @Home and Humanoid Soccer categories, in which I focused in developing object detection systems for the robots. Done research and professional work as a consultant in educational assessment, more specifically, computerized adaptive tests. As a software developer, I have worked full-stack with Java Enterprise applications, PostgreSQL and Linux stacks. More recently, I've been authoring and documenting open source Python packages dedicated to machine learning research. All the interesting projects I am working on are held in my GitHub page.

Brazilian and Latin-American Robotics Competition @Home Category - Third Place
Our team developed a domestic robot that had several features, including face and object detection, the capacity to follow people, as well as speech recognition and synthesis. We won third place in the @Home category. For this project we used ROS, the Robot Operating system to control the robot, together with OpenCV for computer vision.
