Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDaniel Rocha is a Senior Data Engineer with a decade of experience blending deep mathematical research and production ML engineering, currently finishing a PhD in Mathematics at IMPA. He has driven ML platform and prediction-performance work at major Brazilian tech firms (Globo, iFood) and now builds data systems at Web Fórum, bringing rigorous problem-solving from algebraic geometry to real-world ML pipelines. Proficient across Python, Java, C-family languages, Linux ops and modern data tooling (Kafka, Elasticsearch, Mongo), he specializes in automating model deployment, monitoring and latency-sensitive predictions. Beyond production systems, he prototypes ML experiments—like a Q-learning + Keras Snake AI—and pairs academic rigor with pragmatic engineering to move models from proof-of-concept to scalable service.
