Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMarcos De Souza is an AI/ML researcher and software engineer with over a decade of experience building scalable, production-ready solutions and teaching at university level. Currently an invited assistant professor and researcher at the University of Coimbra and CISUC, he specializes in unsupervised learning, transformer-based autoencoders and industrial computer vision—recently applying ViTAE and YOLOv11 to automate cork-inspection with a strong focus on low-latency inference, interpretability and MLOps deployment. His background spans R&D leadership in industry (Inatel, CESAR) and applied product work from mobile/embedded vision to cloud-based ML platforms, giving him a rare mix of academic rigor and pragmatic engineering. He holds a PhD in Machine Learning and an MBA-informed appreciation for business constraints, which helps him translate complex models into deployable, cost-effective systems. An understated strength is his track record of optimizing for real-world constraints (small labeled datasets, edge inference) rather than chasing raw benchmark performance.
