Work History

Machine Learning Manager

Intel
01.2021 - Current
  • Led a machine learning engineering team to enhance product routing solutions for pricing analytics space, modifying configuration/model prediction/charts and microservices using MLOps, FastAPI and predictive model executions. Usage of MinIO and ElasticSearch to manage data logs. The solution introduced automated product price and product deals recommendation for different microprocessor, standardizing the price definition.
  • Managed stakeholders (Pricing Managers, Data Scientist, IT development teams), defining the approach and leading the development and deployment of an end-to-end automated model recommendation system.

Enterprise Analytics Technical Project Manager

Intel
01.2019 - 01.2020
  • Executed data lake strategies using Hadoop, focusing on creating and automating structured data pipelines. Managed the team and the strategies to execute the development and implementation of those solutions. As result data was consolidated from multiple sources in one single location, allowing thousands of records to be easily accessible.
  • Collaborated with supply/demand and revenue planning teams as Product Owner to define new HANA-based data structures and created foundational data definitions with the Data Integration Team. Provided the data foundations to build a rebate automation program, standardizing the accruals and settlement data structures and process.

Software Developer & IT Development Manager – Finance Information Systems

Intel
01.2016 - 01.2018
  • Oversaw SAP BW development for the Finance department, defining strategies and working with a diverse pipeline, working with financial systems, different sources of data and frequency, consolidating a clear view of all the financial situation. Leading the teams to work with multiple platforms, from Oracle, Teradata, BW, HANA, to Hadoop. As result the finance department was able to rely on the built solutions to present the Intel financial statements.
  • Worked with cross-functional teams, from different areas such as manufacturing, finance, supply chain and procurement, information technology, addressing concerns and solving roadblocks, to implement new financial systems improving the quality and efficiency of the close and reporting process.
  • Integrated procurement and supply chain third-party data using new automated BW solutions, as result a standard purchase order was in place, providing uniform clean data to Intel data flows.

Software Developer for Automation Technology Team

Intel
01.2011 - 01.2016
  • Built tools for component failure analysis (e.g., defects per million), applying statistical and data analysis using C# language. The tools automated the defects per million data extraction and analysis, easy to manage, fast and efficient.
  • Created data loaders for Oracle systems, managed part number history and life cycle, and defined logic for product ID updates.
  • Implemented loadings using AbInitio for Teradata. Took advantage of parallel loading logic to speed up the execution.

Product Engineer

Intel
01.2002 - 01.2011
  • Designed and defined test programs (C language solution) to support product testing logic.
  • Conducted failure analysis and root cause investigations, for product class test programs as well as final operation that exercises the CPU logic.
  • Led cross-functional task forces to reduce quality escapes and ensure seamless manufacturing execution.
  • Partnered with the new product introduction team to define product route and operations, work with module engineers to ensure readiness, worked with manufacturing teams to explain and support the implementation.
