About
I’m a 32 years old software engineer from Brazil🇧🇷 and I’ve been building software for about 8 years of my life.
As a software developer, there’s no part of the software development lifecycle that I don’t like to be involved in. Throughout the projects I’ve worked on, I’ve spent a good amount of time dealing with many aspects of building and maintaining a software product, from creating user interfaces from scratch and validating features with stakeholders to ensuring software quality with automated tests and constant monitoring. Although I believe that my skills add more value to a product when they are aimed at building a great user experience.
Creating software products that improve the quality of people’s lives and that can potentially bring real and meaningful innovation to the world is what I’m passionate about. My main areas of interest and where most of my ideas and effort are dedicated at the moment are:
- Music industry: new artists struggle to build a career from zero when their creations are mostly consumed for free or through a subscription model that doesn't provide a good enough source of income to make a decent living.
- Digital identity: associating user identity to their related resources while keeping them private and secure is something that intrigues me and I believe it’s a big surface of friction in software nowadays where people have to deal with many sign-ups, passwords, and complex security mechanisms to do the work they want to do.
- AI delegation: we all use computers and devices to handle specific tasks. It’d be wonderful if personal AI assistants aware of our high-priority tasks and goals could anticipate and handle some of them for us.
Outside of day-to-day work I’m mostly with my family or studying about technology, investments or productivity. I like to keep myself active swimming, running and practicing Jiu Jitsu. And I also volunteer as a first communion catechist.
Currently I’m open for full-time and part-time positions, consulting or partnerships. Interested in building something together? Send me an email so we can chat about it.
Skills
Work Philosophy
1% Every Day
Inspired by the Kaizen philosophy of continuously improving, I try to apply the "improve at least 1% every day" to my projects and goals. Keeping a steady movement towards achieving my goals, even if it seems slow in the short term, can achieve better and consistent results in the long term.
Don't Be Afraid To Break Things
To make experimentation and innovation possible, I aim to build environments and have tools and mechanisms, such as tests, automation, and observability, in place in case when things break (and they mostly do) the changes can be quickly reverted to a safe version.
No Over-Engineering
Although I'm constantly learning new concepts and technologies to understand when and where these could improve what I'm currently working on or will build eventually, I always aim for simplicity when applying my knowledge to building software. I only like to add layers of complexity when they are expected to bring significant value to what is being built.
