Summary
Diego Sant'ana is a software developer and EBTT professor with a doctoral background in Local Development, specializing in AI, computer vision and machine learning applied to real-world problems like sheep weight prediction from images. He brings over 15 years of hands-on experience building Java-based web systems, databases and public-sector automation, and currently leads digital transformation and Microsoft 365/SEI initiatives at Brazil’s National Data Protection Authority. Diego blends academic research and classroom practice—having coordinated an IT degree, published in international journals, and completed an AI research internship in the U.S.—with practical delivery of scalable, ethical public systems. Known for bridging technology, science and public service, he pairs deep technical skills (Spring Boot, Hibernate, PostgreSQL, Power Automate, SharePoint) with a focus on automation and data-driven decision making. A detail that often surprises collaborators: his doctoral work produced deployable computer-vision models tailored to agricultural contexts, demonstrating an uncommon crossover between rural applications and federal digital governance.
