Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosé Amorim is a Data Scientist and ML engineer with a decade of experience bridging academic research and industry, currently applying interpretable deep learning at Feedzai while mentoring diverse learners through As Raparigas do Código. He holds a summa cum laude PhD in Informatics Engineering from Universidade de Coimbra, where his thesis focused on making oncology-focused deep models more explainable and on metrics to evaluate attribution maps. His work spans medical image analysis, clinical decision support, and pattern recognition, with hands-on expertise in Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch and production tooling like Docker. Unusually for a researcher, he combines classroom teaching and grassroots mentoring with applied research in hospital settings (IPO-Porto), curating clinical datasets and validating CNNs for cancer prediction. This blend of rigorous academic credentials, practical healthcare collaborations, and community-driven teaching makes him effective at translating complex XAI research into usable clinical and product outcomes.
