Top SchoolIsrael Mendonça is an Assistant Professor and applied data scientist with 11 years of experience blending academic research and hands-on software engineering across Japan, France, and Brazil. He holds a PhD-focused trajectory in Data Analysis from Kyushu University and an MSc in Computer Architecture, and has transitioned from full‑stack development to building NLP and AI solutions that integrate backend services and user-facing workflows. At Kumamoto University he combines teaching and research while previously delivering tailored AI-driven products as an Artificial Intelligence Engineer, including production wrappers and Slack integrations.
