Senior🎓
Top SchoolRaphael Fontes is a Data Engineer and Platform Architect with a decade of experience building data-driven, socially impactful platforms for Brazil's public sector. He blends applied NLP and ML research with hands-on engineering—designing scalable Python/Django systems, Elasticsearch-powered search, Airflow orchestration, and SSOT data architectures—to deliver solutions in health, education, and government transparency. A proven leader, he has led projects from vaccination tracking to pharmaceutical budget platforms and recently architected a strategic medicines data platform for the Ministry of Health.
