In his career, he has worked on natural language processing with a focus on automatically labelling and generating definitions for unknown terms in big corpora of unstructured documents; on an early voice assistant (Voxifera) developed back in 2008; on machine learning techniques for clustering, inferring correlations, and preventing the next step in complex attacks by analysing the alerts of an intrusion detection system; and several libraries to make model design and training easier. In the recent years, he has combined his passion for machine learning with IoT and distributed systems. From self-driving robots, to people detection, to anomaly detection, to data forecasting, he likes to combine the flexibility and affordability of tools such as RaspberryPi, Arduino, ESP8266, MQTT, and cheap sensors with the power of machine learning models. He's an active IEEE member and open source enthusiast, and has contributed to hundreds of open source projects over the years.
