Currently, I’m focusing on:

  • Understanding how people speak and try to avoid filtering algorithms on TikTok
  • Working on Fact Checking with LLM’s

As side/coding projects, I am also focusing on:

  • 🧑‍🏫 Mentoring students of the Data Science MBA at the University of SĂŁo Paulo - I tutor “Introduction to Data Science”, “Programming for Data Science”, “Machine Learning” and “Neural Networks and Deep Learning”.

I am always interested in learning, discussing and collaborating on Cyber Security and Machine Learning research and interesting challenges - Shoot me a email ✉️ to chat!

Background

I got my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at the Universidade de São Paulo (USP 🇧🇷 ), with a focus in Machine Learning as a Research Assistant at the Laboratory of Computational Intelligence, while also participating in many Kaggle like competitions 🏆 and co-founding a Machine Learning-Data Science research group (DATA).

In my free time I can be often be found traveling, reading sci-fi or practicing Parkour.
