I am a Founder & Product Engineer with experience in software development, interface architecture, and systems that need to remain understandable as they evolve.

At Alvorar, I lead the transformation of specific needs into digital solutions: from briefing and requirements discovery through development, expectation alignment, ownership handoff, and governance.

In parallel, I continue to own front-end architecture at ConstruCode, working on platform evolution, architectural decisions, and the Design System. Together, these roles reinforce how I work: the autonomy to move from context to execution, commitment to outcomes, and governance that lets products keep evolving.

I also study and apply AI Engineering practices that make assisted development more reliable, including context engineering, governed RAG, MCP, evals, and compliance.

My path includes Information Systems studies between 2006 and 2010, which built Computer Science foundations later applied to software development, plus more than a decade working with mission-critical power systems. That experience brought a strong culture of reliability, operational predictability, and zero tolerance for failure into software work.

Since 2014 I worked independently as a developer and designer across many projects, until a definitive career transition in 2021. A creative highlight was creating Rio's first public-transport map on Moovit, covered by newspaper "O Dia".
