Paulo Valente is a software engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in Elixir, numerical computing, and real-time systems, currently maintaining platform systems and DSP/AI applications at TV Labs. As a core maintainer of the Numerical Elixir ecosystem, he has implemented foundational numerical algorithms (QR, SVD, p-norms), complex number support, and contributed to Axon neural network tooling, blending data-science rigor with backend engineering. His open-source work spans performance-sensitive libraries (Nx, Axon, gRPC, Tesla) where he has improved testing, dependency management, telemetry, and robustness for production use. Comfortable across embedded systems, DevOps, and backend services, Paulo brings both research experience in audio processing and a musician’s attention to detail to engineering problems.
