Who I am
I’m a Brazilian/Italian software engineer. I have a wide variety of experiences, from Backend and DevOps to Data Science, Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
I am passionate about the intersection of Computer Science, Mathematics and AI, and I am particularly attracted to NLP applications.
I am a devote Catholic and love getting involved in church activities.
Why I started this blog
I enjoy diving very deep when learning new things. I can only truly understand a new concept once I fully understand its inner workings.
I believe there are other like-minded people around the world. If you’re one of them, hopefully you’ll find my content insightful.
Most AI content on the internet is rather superficial, so I decided to share my way of seeing the world.
Superficial content is the equivalent of junk food – Karpathy
Besides that:
- Connect with other like-minded folks
- Document my learnings
- Force myself to write things down
