About Marcos Borges
Marcos Borges is a Research Engineer experienced in guiding advanced research and development in AI, Machine Learning, Sensor Fusion, and Target Tracking.
Hi, I'm Marcos Borges, a research engineer who has spent decades at the forefront of technology, specializing in software engineering and computer vision.
Over my career, I have worked at the National Institute for Space Research, Safran Electronics & Defense, and ENGIE Renewable Energy, advancing research in remote sensing, autonomous systems, and robotic perception.
My path wasn't always conventional: it started with selling ice cream and led to earning a PhD in Applied Mathematics. This journey gave me a profound, practical understanding of how to cut through the noise and build a standout career.
Here, I share my reflections and discoveries from exploring the world and learning more about myself.
