About

Computational Linguist & NLP enthusiast

Grüezi! I am Gustavo, a Computational Linguist made in Brazil Brazil with a deep passion for NLP. Currently, I live in the beautiful city of Zürich and work as a Computational Linguist at Google Switzerland, being part of the Assistant team.

I like building things with deep learning and traditional ML, in SQL and NoSQL databases, using Python and Typescript. Django is my go-to framework for building backends. I like DRF for creating elegant RESTful APIs. React saves the day when it comes to frontend. Google Data Studio allows me to build aesthetically pleasing and functional EDA tools. I have worked on a wide-range of NLP applications and tasks: I have built ASR and TTS pipelines, trained probabilistic parsers, written CFG grammars, trained NERs for various tasks with deep learning, written extensive lexica with rich linguistic annotations, supervised annotation tasks and teams of annotators, implemented data pipelines, assessed data quality and inter-rater agreement, etc.

I am a very easygoing and quite down-to-earth.

If you are interested in collaborating in some way, feel free to drop me a line!
