I’m Dinis Peixoto, a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Checkout.com based in London. 🇬🇧

I’m a curious and hands-on learner who thrives in environments that push me outside of my comfort zone. I believe in a learn-by-doing mindset and enjoy tackling complex challenges that help sharpen my problem-solving skills.

I’m motivated by the challenges that come with designing, building, and scaling machine learning systems in real-world production environments. I’m deeply involved in the whole ML lifecycle, with a strong focus on MLOps - from training to deployment and monitoring - ensuring systems are robust, scalable, and maintainable.

Outside of work, I’m a big fan of Formula 1 🏎, skateboarding 🛹, and I hit the gym every weekday 🏋️‍♂️.
