Elias Lawrence is a Data Scientist with a PhD in Computer Science and 15 years of hands-on experience designing and operationalizing AI at scale for large enterprises in Brazil. He blends strong programming skills (Python, Java, C++, NodeJS) with expertise in ML, metaheuristics, and both SQL and NoSQL systems to build production-ready pipelines and MLOps frameworks across AWS, Azure and Databricks. At Petrobras he has architected scalable AI solutions, standardized CI/CD model workflows, and translated complex analytics into business impact such as real-time detection systems, while earlier roles span data lake and catalog design for government-scale platforms. He pairs rigorous academic research—including work in virtual reality and operations research—with practical engineering, having shipped mobile backends, ETL/BI systems and cloud-deployed services. Based in Rio de Janeiro, Elias is comfortable bridging cross-functional teams to move models from prototype to monitored production.
