Senior🎓
Top SchoolNuno Machado is a backend engineer and researcher with 11 years of experience building scalable ML and distributed systems, currently developing autonomous AI agents for cloud vulnerability triage at Maze. He combines a strong academic foundation (PhD) and published research in distributed systems with hands-on MLOps and production ML experience from Amazon, where he accelerated model evaluation and deployed monitoring workflows for multimodal systems. His career spans building high-throughput event pipelines, low-latency fraud detection, and tooling that cut evaluation cycles threefold—demonstrating a knack for translating research ideas into production-grade automation. He occasionally collaborates with INESC TEC as an external researcher, maintaining a bridge between cutting-edge research and practical engineering. Based in Madrid, he brings a multidisciplinary toolkit across Java, Python, AWS, Spark/Scala, and containerized cloud platforms, and has a track record of delivering systems that process millions of daily events. An understated detail: his research roots include tools that automatically detect and isolate concurrency bugs, reflecting deep expertise in reliability and debugging for complex software.
