Summary
Raphael Abreu is a Senior AI Engineer and former graduate professor with a PhD in Machine Learning, blending twelve years of research and nine years of applied industry experience to turn academic innovations into national-scale production systems. He has led e-health and IoT projects—most notably SmartCare, an automated non-invasive system to reduce agitation in Alzheimer’s patients—and built scalable ML inference platforms for multimedia and VR during his doctoral work. Raphael couples strong cloud and engineering chops (GCP/AWS, LangChain, RAG, PostGIS, ETL pipelines) with hands-on middleware and microservices modernization experience at large institutions like IBGE and IPEA. He regularly teaches and mentors, having designed AI curricula and led capacity-building programs for companies and universities while supervising applied student research. Comfortable across classical ML, computer vision, NLP and Generative AI, he’s equally at home prototyping embedded IoT integrations and architecting large data platforms. Based in Rio de Janeiro, he brings a rare combination of academic publication record and pragmatic delivery of production-ready AI systems.
