Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Simões is a machine learning engineer with 12 years of interdisciplinary research and applied experience, currently building privacy-first computer vision systems at Pimloc. He holds a PhD from UCL's Gatsby Unit and an MSc in Physics from USP, combining rigorous mathematical modelling with practical ML engineering across Python, PyTorch, C++ and deployment toolchains (ONNX/TensorRT). At Pimloc he has shipped end-to-end pipelines for scene text detection/recognition and PII redaction in audio/text, and previously improved SOTA licence-plate detection and uncertainty quantification in tracking. His background in theoretical neuroscience and reinforcement learning gives him a distinctive probabilistic and cognitive perspective on model design and validation. Based in London, he enjoys translating deep theory into robust, privacy-preserving production systems and mentoring engineers through reproducible tooling and infrastructure.
