About me

I build digital products where engineering, product thinking and leadership meet.

I'm a software engineer and product-minded builder with 15+ years of experience turning complex problems into useful digital products. I bring deep frontend expertise, a broad understanding of the stack and a strong focus on performance, maintainability and user experience.

Across Brazil, France and Germany, I've worked in e-commerce, fintech, cybersecurity and decision-making platforms, contributing across the stack while increasingly taking on technical and people leadership.

Today, I'm especially interested in building strong teams, improving how we work, and using AI thoughtfully to automate routines, surface insights and help people deliver better software.

Away from the keyboard, I'm a husband, a father, and an enthusiastic volleyball player and cyclist.

Career journey

A path built on impact.
