Professional Summary
I work as a Lead AI Engineer at the LEGO Group, where I lead AI R&D for digital play experiences, from research to product deployment across several initiatives, including the latest LEGO® DUPLO® Train sets launched worldwide.
I am also the Co-founder and Chief Scientist at SciPet, where I have coordinated machine learning research on animal biometrics for social good. This research resulted in CrowdPet, an app designed to support protective actions for stray animal populations and assist in planning public animal welfare initiatives.
In addition, I collaborate as a researcher with the Institute of Computing at Unicamp, and served as an elected member of the IEEE Information Forensics and Security Technical Committee (IFS-TC) (2023–2025) and as Chair of the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) South Brazil Section (2016-2017).
My professional goal is to continue advancing AI methods and their real-world applications, contributing to technology that creates a positive impact on society.
