Hello

I started my career as a sysadmin twenty years ago, setting up and maintaining bare-metal Linux servers. I witnessed the advent of server virtualization, the process of containerization, and the entire arsenal surrounding DevOps culture.

I acquired new skills and transitioned to working as a software engineer, utilizing PHP, Java, and Ruby. Over the years, I have participated in various projects employing many technologies.

For the past three years, I have been dedicatedly embarking on a journey exploring Data Science and Machine Learning.

Henku
Data Scientist/Machine Learning Engineer
Apr 2021 – Present Remote

I worked to improve the data quality and helped with the automation of ML model training as well as the observability of the models. I participated in projects developing Machine Learning models to solve classification and regression problems with Scikit-Learn and deep learning problems with TensorFlow.

With the data science team, I applied and generalized statistical models to large datasets with Python, Scikit-Learn, and a lot of SQL. Other activities I got involved in were: Construction of production pipelines for ML using Airflow, Kubeflow, and SageMaker (implementing continuous training).

I was responsible for designing and migrating the top Ruby on Rails applications previously on AWS to Google Cloud, using Docker and Kubernetes (GKE). During the migration, I worked with eBPF for the first time and applied performance profiling for some applications.

The automatic deploy pipeline that did not exist before was implemented using Codeship and Google Cloud Build. As a result of this work, it was possible to guarantee an immutable and scalable infrastructure.
