Carlos E. Torres
Building clinical AI at Oracle Health and researching how AI should interact with people.
I'm a Brazilian-American software engineer based in Florida. I lead technical design and delivery of the Clinical AI Agent at Oracle Health, a multimodal assistant that moves between voice, text, and touch without losing context. Alongside that, I research LLMs, NLP, and Human-Centered AI as a Ph.D. student at UCCS.
Two decades of shipping software across three countries, from a BBS I ran as a kid in Brazil, to helping improving billing systems in Portugal, to opening my own company, to building mobile, AI powered, systems used by healthcare providers in hospitals. I've been a founder, a consultant, and an engineer inside multinationals, which tends to make me useful in the space between what a business wants and what a system can actually do.

TabNews CLI
TabNews (tabnews.com.br) CLI is a terminal based application (TUI) made with Go for the Brazilian news website TabNews. It uses two Go libraries: gocui (the best TUI libraries I've even seen, supports even mouse interaction) and go-term-markdown (markdown rendering).
AI Buddy CLI
A command-line interface (CLI) made with Go that is an AI tool to help solving problems using prompt engineering from a set of crowdsourced AI prompts. It currently supports Google Gemini API, OpenAI ChatGPT API, and local Ollama server (with any model available offline). Comes with a local server that provides a web UI in alternative of the CLI usage.
ACSP4HR - SPDS
Secure and Privacy-Preserving Data Sharing for Data Science Computations. An NSF-funded cybersecurity research project presented at ISTSS 39th Annual Meeting. It is a secure and privacy-preserving data sharing system for data science computations toward the scientific community that actually does not share the data.

Go in the Age of AI Agents: Why Boring Wins August 12, 2026 · 9 min readGoogle's Go team argues that AI has moved the bottleneck from writing code to verifying it, and that Go's rigid simplicity is exactly what agentic development needs. Here is what holds up, what is marketing, and what I actually see in my own codebases.

Building a Local TTS Pipeline with Kokoro For My Blog Posts August 11, 2026 · 11 min readUsing Kokoro, an 82 million parameter model, on my laptop to narrate every post on this site, for free, offline. The interesting part was never the model. It was everything around it: HTML extraction, the text cleaning rules nobody warns you about, and one Python version that cost me an evening.

Accuracy Is the Wrong Metric for Clinical AI Agents August 11, 2026 · 9 min readBenchmark accuracy tells you a model can answer questions. It tells you almost nothing about whether a clinician should trust it at 3 a.m. Here is what actually breaks when clinical AI agents move from the leaderboard to the ward, and the five layers I think an evaluation stack needs instead.
