  • Jefferson

    GCP Cloud Engineer

    Brazil/(GMT -3:00)

    Jefferson is a Senior AI Engineer with 11+ years rooted in NLP and computational linguistics — a rare foundation that shapes how he approaches LLM systems at the data layer, retrieval design, and evaluation. He covers the full AI engineering stack: agentic orchestration (LangGraph, CrewAI, AWS Bedrock AgentCore), RAG pipelines with chapter-aware chunking and semantic retrieval surfaces, and multi-model GenAI workflows with structured quality evaluation. He's taken sole architectural ownership of production agentic platforms at enterprise scale, and brings genuine pre-transformer NLP depth — spaCy, BERT, NER, classical ASR — that most LLM engineers simply don't have. Best fit as the AI/NLP design lead on a RAG or agentic product where retrieval architecture and orchestration quality matter more than raw Python backend throughput.
