Romulo Drumond

Hi there! I’m a Senior AI Engineer building products on top of Large Language Models (LLMs): designing prompts and structured outputs, evaluating how the models behave, and running the services and pipelines that take these features to production. Before that I worked as a Data Engineer, Data Scientist and Machine Learning Engineer, so I care about the whole pipeline of a data-driven product, not only the model. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn to learn more about my career path.

I’m also an indie entrepreneur: I build my own products on the side, from the first idea to shipping them to real users.

People who get to know me personally know that I am a nerd who can spend hours in front of the computer but know the importance of being sociable, that there is a time to listen and to be heard and that explicit is usually better than implicit. I always try to work hard but above all work smart. Starting businesses has shown me that direction is usually more important than speed in the many facets of life.

My main areas of interest include:

• Large Language Models (LLMs) and Natural Language Processing (NLP)
• AI Agents and Automation
• Evaluation of LLM-based systems
• Building and shipping products end to end
• Reinforcement Learning (RL) and Decision-Making Algorithms
• Parallel Computing and Distributed Systems
