Data Scientist MS Tech Leader
Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil
Summary
🎓
Top SchoolNicksson Freitas is a Principal Data Scientist and AI engineer with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and over eight years delivering applied ML and data platforms from Brazil's northeast. As tech lead at SiDi Recife he architects data lakes/warehouses, builds end-to-end forecasting and trajectory analytics systems for industry and urban mobility, and has led residency programs with Samsung and UFC. He pairs production ML (deployment and monitoring) with strong data engineering—ETL, AWS orchestration and API development—and has driven measurable operational gains such as inventory efficiency and energy savings. An experienced educator and co-founder of a data science mentoring initiative, he routinely translates research (image mining, remote sensing, trajectory analysis) into practical products and trains the next generation of data practitioners. Notably, his background in meteorological image mining and public-security big-data projects gives him a rare blend of domain-aware modeling and large-scale systems experience.
