Currently serving as the Data Science Tech Lead in the Fraud Prevention team. In this role, I lead a team focused on developing and implementing cutting-edge strategies to safeguard iFood's operations against fraudulent activities.

As a member of the Disrupt team, I actively contributed to pioneering innovation projects at iFood. These projects challenged the boundaries of what iFood could achieve, and I played a pivotal role in ideation, development, and rigorous testing to bring these initiatives to life.

I was a valuable part of iFood's Fraud Prevention Data Science team, working on projects aimed at reducing financial losses due to illicit transactions. My responsibilities encompassed the entire lifecycle of model development, from ideation to successful production deployment. I also meticulously monitored and analyzed metrics to ensure optimal performance and effectiveness of our fraud prevention strategies, and the model I developed during this time continues to be recognized as one of the most valuable assets in iFood's ongoing efforts to combat fraud.
