Marcelo – Python, LLM, RAG
Marcelo is a Senior AI Engineer with 7 years of experience spanning production RAG and agentic systems, ML forecasting pipelines, and wearable health ML research. He combines genuine research depth — graph neural networks, BERT-era embeddings, on-device inference — with end-to-end shipping experience across retrieval architecture, multi-agent runtimes, and production MLOps. He has a strong evals-first instinct, favors measurable outcomes over gut feel, and self-selects toward startup environments where technical ownership is expected.

Lead AI Engineer
Production candidate-search platform for recruiters and hiring managers, combining retrieval, scoring, reranking, and explainable output to turn ambiguous hiring requests into auditable shortlist decisions. The system integrates semantic search, multi-criteria reranking, LLM-based candidate assessments, and chat-driven hiring workflows with a multi-agent AI runtime.
- Design and lead production AI search architecture combining Elasticsearch filters, semantic retrieval, and LLM-based assessments to improve shortlist quality while keeping results inspectable by recruiters.
- Build backend APIs, async workflows, and runtime infrastructure on Supabase/PostgreSQL with Redis-backed caching and queues to support high-throughput hiring operations.
- Implement chat-driven hiring workflows with planning, tool orchestration, memory-aware context injection, and AI SDK-compatible SSE streaming across backend and product surfaces.
- Design a PydanticAI-centric multi-agent runtime with specialist agent profiles, delegated subtasks, memory-aware shortlist re-evaluation, and feedback-triggered workflow adaptation.
- Build persistent LLM memory and session-aware context-injection infrastructure with confidence-scoped retrieval across sessions.
- Develop a trainable model layer for search with user-scoped persistence, quality tiers, SHAP/feature-importance-to-Elasticsearch-filter translation, and uncertainty-aware candidate scoring (Gaussian Process and conformal intervals).
- Strengthen runtime observability with request correlation, trace propagation, safe logging/redaction, and metrics/tracing patterns suited for debugging long-running agent workflows.
- Improve release safety through CI/CD hardening, test-driven refactors, and stronger observability across search, streaming, and agent-runtime components.
AI Consultant
Internal assistant chatbots grounded on proprietary code and spreadsheet knowledge sources, with retrieval and prompt pipelines plus production guardrails for repeatable enterprise workflows.
- Built internal assistant chatbots grounded on proprietary code and spreadsheet knowledge sources with LangChain-based retrieval pipelines.
- Designed production guardrails and prompt optimization routines to ensure reliable, repeatable assistant responses aligned with organizational knowledge.
- Integrated LLaMA-based models with custom prompt engineering approaches to calibrate assistant tone and accuracy for internal use.
AI Engineer
AI voice assistant with real-time transcription, TTS generation, and persona-aware RAG responses. Knowledge base built from a YouTube-to-vector-store pipeline with transcription, speaker diarization, and metadata-rich chunking.
- Led end-to-end development of an AI voice assistant combining real-time transcription, TTS generation, and persona-aware RAG response generation.
- Built YouTube-to-ChromaDB ingestion pipeline with AssemblyAI transcription, speaker diarization, and metadata-rich chunking for structured knowledge-base extraction.
- Implemented LangGraph agents with PostgreSQL checkpointing for persistent conversation state across sessions.
- Integrated ElevenLabs TTS, AssemblyAI STT, and Ultravox for real-time voice conversation handling, including audio event management (interruptions, pauses).
- Designed PCA-based scope analysis and 22-attribute concurrent persona extraction for personalized, personality-adjusted assistant responses.
- Built MinIO-synced ChromaDB vector store with Redis caching for production-ready retrieval infrastructure.
Machine Learning Consultant
Computer vision platform for automated construction site monitoring using 360-degree photography. The system combined semantic segmentation of site elements with client-facing dashboards to track build speed and identify bottlenecks in real time.
- Led a team of data scientists building computer vision applications for automated construction site monitoring via 360-degree imagery.
- Developed a semantic segmentation solution to identify and classify construction site elements and track structural progress.
- Built client-facing dashboards enabling real-time visibility into construction speed and activity status.
- Designed the end-to-end pipeline from image ingestion through segmentation inference to dashboard visualization.
Senior Data Scientist
ML platform optimizing bidding strategies and campaign performance for digital marketing at scale, covering demand forecasting, anomaly detection, and A/B experimentation on large datasets backed by Snowflake and Amazon Aurora.
- Led redesign of bid-optimization and forecasting ML systems for digital marketing workflows.
- Built Python and SQL pipelines for production forecasting, anomaly detection, and decision support on Snowflake and Aurora-backed marketing data.
- Trained and tuned multi-level time-series models with Prophet-based forecasting and regression-driven adjustments, using cross-validation and quality gates (RMSE, MAE, MAPE, MASE).
- Implemented anomaly monitoring, alerting, and automated model-renewal logic for forecasting models in production.
- Supported bid-optimization and experimentation analyses, including A/B testing, confidence intervals, and statistical hypothesis testing.
- Partnered with business stakeholders to align model behavior with campaign KPIs and operational constraints.
