About

I tried to hire people before, all that I wanted to see was a nice list of the projects they worked on (with pictures). So I'll go ahead and do the same here: https://github.com/EderSantana/projects/blob/master/README.md

Experience

  • Twitch (7 yrs 4 mos)
    • Sr. Applied Scientist
      Nov 2023 - Present · 2 yrs 9 mos

      Leading first stage recommendation systems and multi-objective ML strategy.

    • Applied Scientist
      Apr 2019 - May 2025 · 6 yrs 2 mos

  • Deep learning research engineer at comma.ai
    Oct 2018 - Feb 2019 · 5 mos

    Developing full stack driving intelligence at comma research. Focus: perception, planning and mapping

  • Research Scientist at Toyota Research Institute
    Sep 2017 - Oct 2018 · 1 yr 2 mos

    Machine Learning for self driving cars from image understanding to vehicle path planning. I developed machine learning algorithms for electric cars and learned simulators mixing physics and generative models.

  • Deep Learning at Apple
    Feb 2017 - May 2017 · 4 mos

    I worked on Deep Learning in the FaceID project. I also did research on generative adversarial networks (GAN) for data augmentation.

  • PhD at University of Florida
    Aug 2013 - Jan 2017 · 3 yrs 6 mos

    My thesis was about generative models of video and memory augmented neural networks. I wrote differentiable 2D graphics pipelines and I also worked on video prediction for driving data. Early in my PhD, I used Deep Learning and novel architectures for EEG analysis and image recognition using 3D sensors.
