I'm a data scientist at Stone, one of Brazil's largest payments companies, where I build credit risk, behavior scoring, and propensity models that help decide how we extend credit to merchants. My work runs the full lifecycle — feature engineering, master-table construction, model training and evaluation, and production monitoring with retraining — mostly in Databricks with PySpark and SQL. Beyond credit modeling, my background spans the wider ML landscape. I've worked across scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and Keras, with hands-on experience in computer vision using OpenCV, and I'm currently deepening that foundation through an MSc in Computer Science focused on Artificial Intelligence. Outside of work I'm a persistent, curious learner: I read widely, study languages (fluent in English and German alongside Portuguese), and shoot analog photography.
