Entrepreneur at UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH
London, England, United Kingdom
Summary
👤
SeniorAndré Paraense is a product engineering leader, entrepreneur and AI researcher with a PhD in Cognitive Architectures and over two decades of experience translating advanced research into production at startups and fintechs. As Co-founder and CPTO at Plain he combines expertise in GenAI, autonomous LLM agents and cognitive systems to democratise family-office grade investment strategies and scale advisory capacity by an order of magnitude. His career weaves deep robotics and multi-robot coordination research with hands-on engineering leadership—building teams, cloud architectures and ML-driven optimisation systems across Europe, Australia and Brazil. He has a proven track record of launching impact-driven startups (from food-waste and education apps to fintech) and contributing to open-source cognitive tooling from his academic work. Less obvious: he repeatedly bridges long-established optimisation problems (logistics, transport, underwriting) with cutting-edge LLM agent design to turn academic insights into commercial advantage. Based in London, he blends founder grit with research rigor to tackle structural inequality in financial services.
