Summary
🤩
RockstarMarcelo de Oliveira Rosa Prates is a Machine Learning Engineer with a PhD in Machine Learning from UFRGS and a decade of hands-on experience building ML-driven tools and visualizations. Based in Porto Alegre, he blends deep learning research with full-stack engineering, evidenced by his significant contributions to the prettymaps project where he expanded rendering capabilities, added hillshades and sea geometries, and integrated a Streamlit front end. He’s passionate about generative art and education, bringing a creative, design-aware perspective to data and model outputs. Comfortable across Python data and geospatial stacks, he focuses on turning complex spatial and ML ideas into polished, user-facing tools. Colleagues can expect a researcher-engineer who cares about usability and reproducible open-source work as much as model performance.
