Meraldo Antonio
Data Scientist & Full-Stack AI Builder
I turn messy data into things that actually work — from forecasting models to LLM-powered apps. Comfortable across the full stack, from SQL pipelines to React frontends and everything in between.
I'm a Data Scientist in DBS Bank's Corporate Treasury team, where I've spent five years building forecasting and nowcasting models for macroeconomic and market variables — inflation, GDP, FX rates, credit spreads — to support the portfolio management desk.
I'm especially interested in data visualization & storytelling — building interfaces that don't just show data, but explain it.

My core quantitative work is in time series forecasting and nowcasting for macroeconomic and financial market variables — inflation, GDP growth, FX rates, credit spreads. I work with classical statistical methods (ARIMA, VAR), gradient boosting, and neural approaches, always with explainability as a first-class constraint. Beyond training, I deploy these models end-to-end: interactive dashboards in React with D3 visualizations, APIs in Python, all running on AWS. I contribute to sktime and skpro, the open-source Python libraries for probabilistic forecasting, which keeps me close to the research frontier.

My work involves mapping manual workflows and designing AI-augmented alternatives that keep humans in control.
Since early 2026, my focus has shifted toward implementing agentic AI across DBS Finance — moving the department from manual, spreadsheet-driven workflows to AI-augmented processes. This means less model-building and more change work: mapping existing processes, designing human-in-the-loop automation, getting buy-in from stakeholders, and building the tooling that makes new workflows actually stick. The organizational problems are just as hard as the technical ones.

Designing RAG systems is part of what I do. This diagram shows a simple RAG system that uses both embedding-based and BM-25-based retrieval.
I build agent systems and automation pipelines using LangChain, LangGraph, and Claude's API — connecting language models to internal data through RAG pipelines, MCP tooling, and structured tool use. For faster iteration or no-code orchestration, I reach for n8n. The interesting problems are almost never the LLM itself: they're retrieval quality, tool design, failure modes, and deciding when not to use an agent at all.
