I am a Research Data Scientist developing my doctoral thesis at the ALGORITMI Center, University of Minho. My work focuses on creating machine learning and explainable AI (XAI) models for the industrial supply chain in Portugal. I am proficient in Python, Spark, scikit-learn, and Hive. My AI regression models for the supply chain have achieved an NMAE of 0.2% and an R² of 98% in demand forecasting and supplier delay models, now deployed in real environments.I have taught programming logic, data structures, software engineering, decision support systems, databases, and web development as a university professor during 12 years. Additionally, I have guided numerous students in their final projects. My IT career spans roles as a network administrator, software developer, development team coordinator, and software development contract administrator in public safety institutions during 23 years. As a freelancer, I have developed software using ASP.NET Core.My current research delves into Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI), focusing on developing AI models and explanations. I explore the human aspect of XAI and assess its relevance in commercial contexts. In my spare time, I run a Portuguese-language YouTube channel, “IA com Clareza,” offering advice on maintaining employability in the AI-driven job market.Skills:- Machine Learning- Explainable AI (XAI)- Python- Spark- Scikit-learn- Hive- SQL- R- Statistics- Data Analysis- Data Visualization- Big Data- Artificial Intelligence (AI)- ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)- Predictive Modeling- Data Wrangling- Cloud Computing- APIs- Agile- Software Engineering- Data Science- Education- Researcher- Management- Supply Chain- Public Safety
