Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Pedro is Head of Machine Learning/AI at Palver and a researcher bridging applied ML with economic policy, with a decade of experience designing data-driven products and models. Trained in systems development and economics (USP, Paris School of Economics), he blends hands-on ML engineering—especially NLP and web-backed deployments—with product management experience in fintech and retail. His background includes impactful internships and research roles (Pattern Recognition lab, Magazine Luiza, IPEA, MADE) where he built ETL pipelines, applied ML to customer experience, and produced policy‑relevant analyses from national surveys. He knows both the product lifecycle and the technical stack (Python, Pandas, Flask/Django), enabling rapid translation of research insights into production features. Notably, he pairs economic research—organizing the Brazilian Economics Olympiad and contributing to macro-inequality studies—with startup execution, a profile that helps steer AI work toward measurable social impact. Based in São Paulo but educated across Brazil and France, he uniquely combines public-sector research rigor with startup velocity.
