Roney Lima do Nascimento is a leading expert in artificial intelligence, mathematics, and educational innovation, recognised for his ability to make advanced AI concepts accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences. Combining more than two decades of experience teaching mathematics with over 16 years in Python development, Roney has become a respected voice on AI literacy, machine learning, and responsible technology adoption. As a teacher, developer, consultant and speaker, he helps organisations build trust frameworks for AI implementation while empowering educators and business leaders to confidently embrace emerging technologies. Currently serving as an IBDP Higher Level Mathematics Teacher, KS3 and IGCSE Educator, and AI Solution Developer at St. Paul’s School in São Paulo, he is widely hired to explain the real-world impact of AI in education and business.

Beginning his career as a mathematics educator, Roney taught students across middle school, high school, pre-university and undergraduate settings, developing a reputation for translating complex mathematical theories into engaging and understandable learning experiences. His academic journey led to a CAPES Research Fellowship in collaboration with the University of Oxford, where he explored innovative methods of teaching probability through games. He later held positions at respected institutions, including Colegio Objetivo, Escola Internacional de Alphaville, Colegio Dante Alighieri, Cursinho Popular Clarice Lispector and Colégio Anglo Vargem Grande Paulista. Alongside his teaching career, he expanded into AI and data solutions consulting, specialising in applied AI systems and machine learning integration for organisations. He is also pursuing a PhD in Pure Mathematics at the University of São Paulo and has developed the AI Teachers Platform, now used by more than 15,000 educators every month.

Roney’s expertise is reinforced by an extensive portfolio of industry certifications and published work. He is a Google Generative AI Leader, Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert 2026, and has completed advanced AI programmes with institutions including MIT Professional Education, UPenn Wharton, Vanderbilt and Johns Hopkins.
