Summary
Diogo Dutra is a dual‑citizen Data Scientist and senior GNC/AI engineer with over a decade of experience designing sensor-fused navigation and perception systems for safety-critical autonomous platforms, from missiles to autonomous aircraft and wearables. He holds M.Sc. degrees in Aeronautical Engineering (ITA) and Computer Science with Machine Learning (Georgia Tech), and uniquely bridges research-grade Python/ML prototyping with deterministic embedded C++ deployment on real-time OSes. His work includes extending missile flight duration via robust Kalman-filter navigation, embedded EKF target estimation, and reducing wearable posture error from 60° to 5° validated against motion-capture. Diogo blends deep signal-processing and sensor-fusion expertise (IMU/INS, radar, LiDAR, vision) with practical HIL/SIL validation, CI/CD and low-latency system integration across Linux, QNX and Raspberry hardware. He repeatedly moves concepts to production—porting Android services to secure Linux/Kafka stacks and delivering medical-device EEG telemetry proofs-of-concept—while keeping an operator’s safety and determinism front and center.
