Eduardo Stuani

I build data pipelines and LLM systems that survive contact with real data, at scale and under cost constraints.

About

Data Engineer at Econodata, working where large-scale data pipelines meet applied AI. I build the systems that turn public and web data into intelligence on millions of Brazilian companies, from ETL on Airflow and Kubernetes to LLM agents in production.

I care about what holds up with real data: pipelines that run faster, cost less and fail loudly instead of silently, and models that earn their cost. That’s why I measure before I choose, as in the benchmarks below.

  • AI agents
  • LLMOps
  • RAG
  • LLM evaluation
  • Information retrieval
  • Data infrastructure

Work

Ink painting of an old leather football in tall grass, a goal fading into the mist and one red maple leaf caught in the net

CopaData

Checks what fans say about the World Cup against decades of match data, with the verdict rule set before looking.
