I am an Associate Director and Principal AI Engineer at BTG Pactual, bridging the gap between academic research and financial innovation. Leveraging a Ph.D. from PUC-Rio and a track record of over 60 scientific publications, I specialize in architecting high-impact, AI-centric banking solutions. Currently, I lead the development of foundation models and generative AI platforms, with a core focus on agentic AI, LLMs, virtual assistants, and large-scale voice transcription.
