Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranco Cuevas is a Software Technical Leader with a decade of engineering experience, currently leading graph-based fraud detection at Mercado Libre in Montevideo. He has grown through multiple roles at Mercado Libre over five years, combining full-stack engineering with data science to productionize Graph Neural Network models and integrate them with AWS Neptune. Technically versatile, Franco has shipped services in Java, Go, Groovy, JavaScript and Python across frameworks like Spring, Grails, Node/React, Spark and Docker, and works with both SQL and NoSQL systems. He pairs hands-on implementation skills with team leadership, guiding projects from model prototyping in Jupyter and TensorFlow to scalable deployments. Notably, his work leverages relationship graphs to surface fraud signals—an approach that blends systems engineering with applied ML rather than treating them as separate domains. He is continuously learning new technologies and thrives on solving cross-disciplinary problems at the intersection of backend systems and data science.
