Summary
Américo Oliveira is a Data Science Manager based in the Porto metro area with eight years of experience transforming biomedical engineering instincts into production-ready machine learning and risk-scoring systems. He has led and scaled cross-functional teams at Wellhub, Zego and Feedzai, delivering end-to-end data products in insurtech, telematics and fraud detection while tackling hard problems like device-agnostic data quality, explainable scoring, and robust models under extreme class imbalance. Comfortable moving between hands-on feature engineering, model evaluation and stakeholder-facing strategy, he’s repeatedly focused on making scores actionable and maintainable in production. His background in biomedical engineering gives him a disciplined, measurement-driven approach to feature design and signal validation that often uncovers subtle data quality issues others miss.
