About me

I am an AI & Machine Learning Engineer specialized in building autonomous AI agents and RAG architectures. My work sits at the intersection of FinTech compliance and generative AI, where I build systems that transform raw data into invaluable tools for decision-making.

I have architected AI-driven AML/CFT frameworks for U.S. and Brazilian markets, building agents that automate complex compliance workflows while ensuring alignment with FinCEN, OFAC, and BSA standards.

Beyond compliance, I specialize in the full lifecycle of AI engineering, orchestrating stateful multi-agent systems with LangChain and LangGraph, implementing Model Context Protocols (MCP), and fine-tuning LLMs via RLHF. I deploy these solutions as scalable MLOps pipelines using FastAPI, Docker, and vector databases.
