I'm a Machine Learning Engineer at the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies with a PhD in Natural Language Processing from the University of Edinburgh, where I was supervised by Prof. Shay Cohen (Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation). My current focus is on developing agentic systems that leverage both generative AI and traditional machine learning to tackle challenges in the legislative domain.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's diverse background, including academic research, government roles, and entrepreneurial ventures, suggests adaptability and a broad perspective. Their involvement in public administration data analysis and open data initiatives indicates a potential alignment with roles requiring societal impact or public service. The long tenure at Câmara dos Deputados (albeit in different roles) shows commitment. The target role of ML Engineer aligns well with their recent experience and academic focus. However, the lack of specific company culture data makes a precise cultural fit assessment challenging.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's experience as a Lead Software Engineer and Software Architect, including mentoring roles, suggests strong leadership and team collaboration skills. Their entrepreneurial experience as a Founder also indicates initiative and problem-solving abilities. The PhD research demonstrates strong analytical and independent work capabilities. However, without psychometric test results, a definitive assessment of work attitude, stress handling, and team collaboration is limited.
