Gustavo Zomer is a curious engineer-turned-founder with 10 years of experience building AI products and digital platforms from Brazil. He founded GalilAI, an AI-powered social media content platform, after a PhD at the University of Surrey where he developed multilingual ML and NLP systems to detect and correct L1-influenced academic English. Gustavo blends product leadership (head of product at Blueticket) and deep engineering—having launched multiple startups and shipped production ML models and web/mobile products. He favors generalist problem-solving informed by lean, data-driven product practices and a habit of turning failures into rapid learning. Comfortable moving between research-grade model tuning (T5, GPT-2, BERT) and pragmatic product execution, he repeatedly takes ideas from prototype to scalable user-facing service. Based in São Paulo, he pairs entrepreneurial grit with a rare focus on linguistic nuance in ML systems.
