Welcome!
I build and lead teams that turn AI into products used at scale.
At Kaizen Gaming, the company behind Betano, I lead a team of AI engineers and data scientists building GenAI solutions that increase fun and engagement in our products. These solutions are released worldwide across more than 20 operators, with hundreds of thousands of simultaneous users. Before that, I managed multiple data science and AI engineering teams at Deloitte, and I was CTO of Brazil’s Insurance Regulator (SUSEP) for five years.
I hold a Ph.D. in Information Management from NOVA IMS, where I research NLP and GenAI and teach as an Invited Assistant Professor.
