Danilo Motta is a Senior Staff Data Scientist with nine years of experience combining academic rigor from a PhD in Mathematics and Computer Science with production ML at leading Latin American fintechs and e-commerce platforms. He has driven measurable business impact—leading teams that cut fraud >85% YoY, scoped retention strategies projected to save R$1.2B, and delivered recommendation and propensity models that generated multimillion-R$ revenue lifts. His research background in image processing, optimal transport, and visualization informs a strong aptitude for principled modeling, uncertainty estimation, and interpretable analytics. A former visiting researcher at the University of Arizona, he bridges theory and practice, shipping over 20 models via in-house AutoML and operationalizing text mining and optimization for enterprise use. Based in São Paulo, Danilo is equally comfortable mentoring cross-functional teams and rolling up his sleeves to build production-ready systems that prioritize business value and robustness.
