Summary
Matheus Serpa is a Data Science & AI Lead and AI Solutions Architect with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and 11 years of experience building production-grade AI systems that span enterprise consulting, digital agriculture, public sector, healthcare, energy and education. He founded and scaled Altoria AI—acquired by Scherm—where he led end-to-end delivery of generative AI, RAG, LLM orchestration and serverless data pipelines for clients like TJRS, Bayer and Johnson & Johnson. At Scherm and DigiFarmz he focuses on enterprise-grade architectures for on-prem GPU/HPC environments, balancing performance, security and operational reliability for regulated, high-impact deployments. His background in HPC research and cluster operations gives him uncommon depth in optimizing ML workloads and resource-efficient inference on GPU and many-core systems. Equally comfortable in strategic roadmap definition and hands-on implementation, he brings proven MLOps, automation and observability practices to bridge prototypes into scalable production. Based in São Paulo, he combines academic rigor with product-minded delivery to prioritize measurable business impact from AI initiatives.
