Hi, I’m Lucca! ✌️ Welcome to my lil’ corner of the internet. I am a first-year Electrical and Computer Engineering student at Carnegie Mellon University from Brasília, Brazil. 🇧🇷
My passions and interests include brigding the gap between computer hardware and software through low-level programming, firmware, and embedded systems, as well as researching the latest advances in Large Language Models and ML engineering.
I am currently an AI/ML Summer Intern at Stone, a leading fintech and payment systems company in Brazil.
I currently lead the Data Acquisition team at Carnegie Mellon Racing, designing distributed embedded systems to interface with sensors for our electric FSAE racecar, conducting sensor characterization/modeling, and building web-based live telemetry systems.
Music
Here are some modestly popular Spotify playlists I’ve created over the years. Feel free to check them out!
VGM & Nice Tunes
An eclectic compilation inspired by videogame OSTs, jazz, funk, lofi, pop, world music, and more. Great for studying or relaxing. Cover: “Mario & Luigi” RPG series.
Lucca’s Jazz Club
My go-to jazz playlist which I have slowly built over the years. Features a wide variety of jazz subgenres: hard bop, modal, fusion, funk, bossa nova, world & contemporary tunes by the greatest jazz musicians ever. Cover: Miles Davis.
Rainy Videogame Jazz
The very best of multi-instrumentalist and composer Carlos Eiene a.k.a. insaneintherainmusic. Features Years 3-10, “Live at Grillby’s”, “Sinnohvation”, “Insane In The Rain”, featured performances and original compositions. Cover: the original insaneintherainmusic logo.
Bass Practice
My go-to playlist for practicing bass - a collection of songs with cool basslines for practicing, woodshedding, jamming along and just having fun.
