Jorge Gomes is a PhD-trained AI engineer and entrepreneur with 13 years of experience building research-driven products that bring advanced optimisation, autonomous agents, and machine learning into real-world use. As Co-Founder and CTO of Ludo.ai he leads R&D on the world’s first AI-powered game ideation and design tool, while previously delivering cloud-native sensor fusion and real-time analytics platforms for smart warehouses as Chief Data Scientist at Logidot. His career bridges academia and industry—from evolutionary computation research and postdoctoral work to teaching algorithms and mentoring students—enabling him to translate novel optimisation methods into production systems. A repeat founder and Toptal AI contractor, he combines deep technical rigour with product-minded engineering and experience securing EU project funding for robotics work. Based in Portugal, he’s as comfortable publishing and pushing state-of-the-art algorithms as he is shipping scalable ML systems that solve messy, real-world problems.
