Alberto Ferreira de Melo

It starts with a question.

I like finding out how things work. The surest way I know is to build, test, learn, and build again.

I’m Alberto. My path runs through bioinformatics, economics, and machine learning; these days it brings together data, design, and public service. The subjects keep changing. The habit stays.

A question.
Then, an experiment.

Two early experiments.
Each began as a what-if.

LIGHT → SIGNAL → SOUNDBeam connected

What if light
could start a song?

A laser, a light sensor, and a connection between Arduino and Python. Walk through the beam, and the computer starts playing music. A university experiment that brought code into the room.

02 / MACHINE LEARNINGBACHELOR’S THESIS

Can a model
read the market?

A study of the Swedish stock market using neural networks. The useful lesson lives beyond the prediction: preparing the data, testing assumptions, and recognising when a model may be overfitting.
