Summary
Edgar De Araujo is a software engineer and AI entrepreneur with 14 years of experience building production-grade systems from research prototypes to deployed solutions. He has driven technical strategy and implementation at companies including Palantir—where he led projects in KYC/AML automation, supply-chain digital twins, genetic optimizers for media impact, and knowledge-graph extraction using LLMs—and more recently co-founded and serves as CTO at Astrobee. Comfortable across languages and paradigms, his background spans Haskell backend work, graph databases, and materials-science computational modeling from a PhD at Ghent University. Based in São Paulo, he blends deep academic rigor with hands-on systems architecture, often translating complex simulations and ML models into operational workflows. Notably, his career bridges niche domains (materials microstructure and metallurgy) and cutting-edge AI deployments, giving him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective.
