Professional Summary
-
I'm an AI & Machine Learning Engineer focused on AI agents, RAG architectures, and generative AI applied to FinTech compliance. I've built AI-driven AML/CFT frameworks for U.S. and Brazilian markets — transaction monitoring tools, vector search systems for KYC, and automated compliance workflows aligned with FinCEN, OFAC, and BSA standards.
I orchestrate multi-agent systems with LangChain and LangGraph, implement Model Context Protocols (MCP), and fine-tune LLMs via RLHF. I build Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines over proprietary data using PyTorch and Hugging Face, deployed with FastAPI, Docker, and MLOps pipelines on AWS, Azure, and GCP.
