Summary
Álvaro Capelo is a Data and Software Engineer with nine years of experience combining chemical engineering roots and applied data science to build production-ready ML and computer vision systems. He has driven image-quality and medical imaging projects (Master’s in Medical Image Computing) and shipped HPC and cloud-enabled pipelines across industry and research settings, recently joining FoodChain ID after leading CV work at Instituto de Pesquisas Eldorado. Álvaro thrives on data-centric solutions—fine-tuning detection and segmentation models, designing ETL/HPC jobs, and creating inference interfaces—while favoring practical deployments using PyTorch, TensorFlow, Docker and GCP. Comfortable at the intersection of people and code, he translates manufacturing and healthcare problems into automated, high-impact tools and visualizations. An avid habit-builder and puzzle-lover, he brings the discipline of process engineering and a passion for high-intensity sports to fast-moving, collaborative teams.
