About

Kaiane

Technology excites my mind. I love a challenge that puts my problem-solving to work. From everyday software to IoT, these tech puzzles make my eyes sparkle.

As a software engineer, I don't just build systems that hold up under real constraints: I map, architect, and scale them to keep working under pressure.

AI is a big part of that: I not only train and build it, but I'm an engineer who extracts the best out of it. I set the direction, review the output, and use AI where it actually helps me move faster.

Take a look around, it's a pleasure to have you here.

Projects

AGENTIC NAS

Multi-Agent Framework for Neural Architecture Search

Sep 2025 – Apr 2026 · University of Bradford · Final Year Project

An individually-researched framework that automates Neural Architecture Search using five specialized agents (Profiler, Builder, Trainer, Evaluator, Reporter) coordinated via CrewAI. Each agent operates within strict contract boundaries: the Profiler inspects the dataset, the Builder translates that understanding into a context-aware search space, the Trainer runs Optuna-driven optimization within it, and the Evaluator and Reporter assess and document the results. Validated end-to-end on a real ECG dataset, correctly identifying dataset constraints and selecting a CNN1D architecture consistent with the data's structure.

TAAS

Decentralized Fact-Checking News Platform

Jul – Sep 2025 · WCHL 2025, ICP Hubs Network

Built a decentralized news platform on the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) where journalists publish censorship-resistant content on-chain, verified through AI-driven fact-checking. A modular canister architecture (Motoko) handles user identity, publishing, LLM-based verdict generation from community-curated trusted sources, and crypto-based subscriptions settled in ckBTC. Placed 3rd in Brazil's qualification round, advanced to the national round, then reached the regional round — the competition's penultimate stage.

TIMENOW

CI/CD Automation Framework

Apr – Jun 2025 · in partnership with Timenow

Designed a CI/CD automation framework to replace Timenow's manual build-test-deploy process, which caused inconsistent environments and high error rates in production releases. Built YAML-based Azure Pipelines for frontend and backend, with automated testing (Jest, PyTest), enforced pull-request reviews, semantic versioning tied to Git tags, and zero-downtime deployments via Azure deployment slots with rollback support.

RAPPITORS

System Resilience & Observability for Delivery App

Feb – Apr 2025 · in partnership with Rappi

Built an observability and quality-control layer for Rappi's courier app, focused on system resilience. Implemented real-time monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana, load testing with Locust, and a version-sync service (Python + Firebase Realtime Database) that flags outdated API integrations automatically. Also prototyped a predictive maintenance model using machine learning on distributed system logs to anticipate failures before they happen.

FOODATLAS

WhatsApp Restaurant Recommendation Bot

Jul 2024 – Feb 2025 · Freelance

A B2C chatbot that gives personalized restaurant recommendations through WhatsApp, using NLP to understand natural-language requests — cuisine type, location, budget, dietary preferences. Backend in Node.js/Express on Google Cloud, with Dialogflow handling intent detection and entity extraction, and BigQuery powering user history and personalization.

INSPETEC

System Architecture for Building Inspections

Oct – Dec 2024 · in partnership with IPT

Designed a modular cloud architecture to replace IPT's manual, paper-based building inspection process. Focused on confidentiality and interoperability as the key non-functional requirements — RBAC, encryption at rest, and standardized REST/GraphQL APIs to support future integration with IoT devices, drones, and BIM/CAD systems. Validated the design using ATAM, with Markov Chains and Petri Nets to simulate system behavior under the new architecture.

LAW HUNTER

Regulatory Change Monitoring Platform

Aug – Oct 2024 · in partnership with Bank of America

Built a platform that automates regulatory compliance monitoring for Bank of America's operations in Brazil. Combines web scraping and NLP to continuously track new rules from regulators like BACEN and CVM, then classifies them through a hierarchical tagging system to route changes to the right compliance teams. Backend split between Go and C#/.NET, with Python handling the NLP and machine learning pipeline; PostgreSQL on Amazon RDS for storage.

LEGACY LAB

CEO Networking & Project Synergy App

Apr – Jun 2024 · in partnership with Fundação Dom Cabral

Built a mobile app for FDC's "CEO's Legacy" program, helping CEOs manage their projects and discover valuable synergies with peers. A recommendation system, based on user profile and rating history, suggests projects likely to produce productive collaborations — turning a network of business leaders into an active source of connections. Backend in C# with Dapper, React Native for cross-platform mobile, and a Python/pandas pipeline powering the recommendation model. Hosted on AWS.

Impact Management Platform for NGOs

Feb – Apr 2024 · in partnership with Gerando Falcões

Built a web app helping Gerando Falcões' partner NGOs track service delivery and measure social impact — replacing informal, inconsistent record-keeping with a simple system designed for low digital literacy and unreliable connectivity in underserved communities. Backend with Express and Sequelize (JWT auth), React frontend with Ant Design and Vite, deployed on AWS (EC2 + RDS).
