About
I'm a Software Engineer with more than eight years of experience turning complex operations into reliable systems, integrations, and automation that work in everyday conditions.
Experience across different contexts
I have worked across fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, and B2B integrations in Brazil and on international projects. My experience includes large-scale financial platforms, legacy-system modernization, process automation, ERP integrations, and generative AI workflows. That range helps me distinguish what matters from needless technical complexity.
Technology as a means
I prefer to understand how a company operates before suggesting a tool. Sometimes the right answer is a small automation; other times it is an integration, a custom system, or AI applied to one specific step. The solution should create clarity, reduce friction, and remain sustainable after delivery.
Research that strengthens practice
As part of my Master's in Computer Science at UFSC, I research fault tolerance in Kubernetes environments. The work deepens a question that has followed me throughout my career: how to build technology that remains dependable when reality does not match the ideal scenario.
How I approach engineering
I prefer solutions that are understandable, testable, and proportionate to the problem. Good technical decisions do more than improve code: they reduce risk, simplify operations, and allow a company to evolve without constant improvisation.
