Lisbon · Portugal hugo.paulino.santos@gmail.com

I am a Data Scientist and a Big Data enthusiast with a Computer Science background. My work experience allowed me to work in several challenging Machine Learning problems. I was responsible for developing a Document Classification system, where I was able to obtain 70% of accuracy on a multi-label classification problem using Random Forest. Worked on a Object detection module for Automated Document Parsing (PDFs) using state of the art Deep Learning techniques. Also, have experience working with Graphs to solve problems like Costumer Churn and Client Segmentation. During the development of some of my projects I was also responsible for managing necessary stakeholders. The love for new technologies and challenges is what motivates me and I am always interested in learning new things.
