Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRodrigo Silva is a Senior Software Engineer specializing in LLM platforms and production-grade AI systems, with nine years of experience applying strong statistics and Big Data training to real-world ML deployments. He designs and operates scalable, low-latency AI APIs and backend services in Python and Go, balancing cost, observability, and reliability for conversational agents and automated workflows. At Mercado Livre he built semantic clustering with BERT embeddings, LLM-driven chatbots, and automated business processes using n8n, while maintaining CI/CD, testing, and monitoring for long-term production health. His background spans feature stores, model versioning, MLOps tooling (MLflow, Kubeflow, Docker), and large-scale analytics on GCP and BigQuery, enabling end-to-end ownership from data to inference. Equally comfortable in hands-on model development (XGBoost, PyTorch, TensorFlow) and systems engineering, he brings a pragmatic blend of research-rooted rigor and software engineering discipline. Based in São Paulo, he also publishes hands-on projects on GitHub that reflect his focus on operationalizing ML rather than just prototyping.
