I'm a Computer Vision researcher currently pursuing my Master's degree at the VRI Lab (Vision, Robotics and Imaging) at UFPR, supervised by Prof. David Menotti.
My research focuses on facial recognition for forensic applications — building robust pipelines to identify individuals from low-quality mobile device videos, addressing demographic and geographic gaps in existing datasets with a focus on Brazilian populations.
Before transitioning into research, I worked as a Full Stack Developer since 2019, which gives me a strong foundation in building production-ready software alongside AI systems.
