Fernando Guimaraes is a software engineer with nine years of cross-sector experience building production-grade systems that improve access to healthcare and education. He moved from roles in sales, operations, and investment banking into health tech, where he shipped backend services, data pipelines, and internal tools that automated complex operational workflows and improved patient access to home care. Fernando has also led zero-to-one development of AI-powered tutoring and assessment products—building handwriting recognition models and student-facing apps—demonstrating a rare blend of ML, full-stack, and domain collaboration. He favors thoughtful engineering, strong ownership, and auditable systems designed to scale in regulated environments. Based in New York, he’s completing an MS in Computer Science at Columbia while continuing hands-on work across React/TypeScript, Python/Django, and data platforms like Snowflake and dbt. An early entrepreneur (helping launch a craft beverage) and longtime tutor, he pairs product empathy with operational rigor to build tools that meaningfully help people.
