Applied AI Engineer

I architect AI into operational pipelines: what becomes an agent, what stays deterministic, and what should not be built.

About

I decide where AI belongs in an operational pipeline, and where it does not. What becomes an agent, what stays deterministic code, and what should not be built at all. Currently at Banco Inter's Global Operations, where I design the system prompts, tools and MCP integrations behind agents running in production, plus the Python automations around them. Nine of those shipped in seven months. Working inside a bank means every agent ships under audit, access and governance constraints, so I care as much about evaluation and guardrails as about the prompt. Alongside that I do undergraduate research at CEFET-MG on hybrid LLM models for market prediction and financial risk, where the point is benchmarking the combined method against each approach on its own rather than reporting one number in isolation. Previously at Akyou, where I built an end-to-end document intelligence pipeline using the OpenAI API.
