Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolCaio Andrade is a Data Scientist II specializing in recommender systems and NLP with eight years of experience building production-ready ML solutions. He combines a strong computer science foundation from USP and ongoing master's research at ICMC-USP with hands-on delivery of search and recommendation projects that improved CTR and GMS through personalized models and Learning-to-Rank. At Elo7 and Nubank he led migrations from legacy heuristics to metrified ML pipelines, introducing techniques like A-KNN, LightGBM ranking, and MLOps-enabled online prediction. Based in São Carlos, he pairs software engineering pragmatism (PySpark pipelines, refactors) with research-driven curiosity about information retrieval. Colleagues know him for translating academic methods into measurable business impact and for favoring resilient, production-first model design.
