About

Information Systems student at UNIRIO passionate about transforming complex data into intelligent solutions. With a strong focus on Data Science, Data Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence, I aim to build scalable architectures and efficient predictive models. I have hands-on experience developing robust data pipelines, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems, and integrating Multi-LLM ecosystems—including the deployment of cutting-edge open-weights models like DeepSeek and Qwen. My core tech stack includes Python, SQL, PyTorch, Keras, and TensorFlow, combined with practical experience in infrastructure and cloud computing. Driven by technical challenges, I am actively seeking internship opportunities (Data Engineering, Data Science, or Machine Learning) where I can design end-to-end solutions and deliver real-world business impact.
