Alan Barzilay is a data scientist with nine years of experience combining academic rigor (MSc in Computer Science from IME-USP) and production impact in finance and research settings. He has driven measurable results—improving a key credit-scoring KPI by 20% at Banco PAN—while building MLOps practices and a reusable library to cut development overhead and boost reproducibility. His background spans interdisciplinary projects from malaria transmission mapping at Oxford to modernizing CI and integration tests for Linux Foundation projects during Google Summer of Code. An active open-source contributor, he enhanced the popular pipreqs tool by removing Python 2 cruft, adding dynamic versioning and richer test coverage, showing a practical focus on maintainability. Based in São Paulo, Alan blends machine learning, software engineering and domain pragmatism to deliver robust, production-ready models and tooling.
