Bruno Zamberlan

Forward Deployed AI Engineer

From business problems to production AI systems.

I work with businesses to understand real operational problems, design the right solution, and build the software, AI systems, and integrations required to make it work in production.

Case studies

Channel-Agnostic AI Agent Platform

[AI Infrastructure & Software Engineering]

As AI agents began executing processes across different operations and channels, the need emerged to decouple agent logic from client- and channel-specific infrastructure. I designed and built a generic, channel-agnostic platform for executing and orchestrating AI agents, separating ingress, invocation adaptation, cognitive logic, and action delivery. The architecture emerged from real production needs and is now used across multiple operations, allowing the same engineering foundation to be reused in different business contexts.

  • Channel-agnostic architecture enabling the same agent logic to operate across different interfaces and entry points
  • Separation of ingress, invocation adaptation, cognitive logic, and action dispatch
  • Agent and workflow orchestration with explicit state management
  • Integration with conversational channels and HTTP APIs without coupling them to the agent core
  • Event Ledger for execution and platform event traceability
  • Human-in-the-loop support for processes requiring human intervention or validation
  • Observability and monitoring mechanisms for production operation and troubleshooting
  • Architecture reused across different operations and business contexts

De Sistemas Fragmentados a uma Operação Assistida por IA

[Health Care / Support Services]

A healthcare operation relied on disconnected systems for conversations, scheduling, and internal management, creating information gaps and operational bottlenecks. The solution evolved from data integration and operational visibility to decision support and, later, workflow execution through automation, AI, and conversational systems.

  • ~6K conversations processed per month
  • 12 physicians supported by the operation
  • ~2× estimated operational capacity per team member, from ~5 to ~10 physicians per operations professional
  • Integration of operational and conversational data into daily and weekly intelligence workflows
  • Operational intelligence covering performance, conversion, loss reasons, and next actions
  • Internal agents transforming conversational information into structured tasks
  • Conversational systems integrated with confirmation, pre- and post-service, scheduling, and rescheduling workflows

Pipeline Escalável de Inteligência para Leilões

[Legal Services]

A real estate auction lead generation application relied on a low-code architecture that did not scale effectively for the volume and complexity of the required data processing. I built and deployed a Python backend to handle this pipeline, integrating auction platforms through web scraping, document processing with OCR, information extraction, and enrichment through external services. The solution was decoupled from the frontend, containerized with Docker, deployed to VPS infrastructure, and load tested to validate its behavior under increased processing volume.

  • Python backend built to move data-intensive processing out of the low-code layer and enable the solution to scale
  • End-to-end automated pipeline from property discovery to structured lead generation
  • Integration with auction platforms through web scraping
  • Unstructured document processing using OCR and information extraction
  • Data enrichment through external service integrations
  • Decoupled architecture between the Python backend and low-code frontend through APIs
  • Docker containerization and deployment to VPS infrastructure
  • Load testing to validate capacity and system behavior under increased processing volume

Engineering principles

  • Understand before you abstract.
  • Operate before you automate.
  • Determinism for control. AI for judgment.
  • Start with what the agent must not do.
  • Generalize from evidence.
  • Autonomy should match the risk.

About

I'm a Forward Deployed AI Engineer with 15+ years of experience across technology, product, delivery, and engineering.

My career has taken me through business processes, project and program management, product management, professional services, engineering leadership, and hands-on software development.

That combination shapes how I approach engineering today: I understand the business context first, work closely with the people operating the process, and then design and build the technology needed to solve the problem.

Today, I focus on applied AI, software engineering, and production systems, working hands-on from architecture and implementation to integration, deployment, and observability.

I believe AI is a means, not the end. The goal is to build systems that solve the right problem and keep working after the demo.
