Summary
Luana Peres is a Data Scientist with eight years of experience applying machine learning to apparel e-commerce, and a strong academic foundation with a PhD in Chemical Engineering and research stints in polymer nanotechnology. She has delivered end-to-end ML solutions at Snap Inc., including CNN-based object detection and metric-learning recommenders, and fine-tuned generative models for virtual try-on at Tramma AI. At Fit Analytics she built ETL pipelines and semi-automated BI to link product performance to sales and returns, demonstrating a pragmatic focus on business impact. Her background in experimental research and polymer synthesis gives her a unique edge in rigorous experimentation and feature engineering for visual and size-recommendation problems. Currently based in Brazil, she combines deep technical modeling skills with production deployment experience and a track record of moving prototypes into live e-commerce systems. Notably, her profile reflects a transition from lab-driven research to scalable, consumer-facing ML in fashion tech.
