Hi, I’m Gustavo. Currently, I’m a Data Scientist at Nubank, recognized as one of the world's most innovative technology companies in finance, and an AI Mentor for the MIT Applied AI & Data Science Program. As a former Brazilian Navy Officer, I bring a unique focus on leadership, discipline, and strategic planning to the world of data.

My mission is to strip away the jargon and show you how AI actually works in the 'real-world battlefield'.

Whether I'm mentoring students at MIT — where I maintain an average rating of 4.83 and an NPS of 83 — or building models that have the potential for multimillion BRL savings, my approach is always the same: keep it practical, keep it actionable, and keep it uncomplicated.

Most AI projects fail because they can't bridge the gap between technical complexity and business value. I’ve spent my career ensuring they don’t.
