About me

Tech Operator and Engineer who blends deep technical chops with people-first leadership and experience in building/hiring top-notch teams.

I have over 20 years of experience in Software Engineering, Leadership, Business Development, and Digital Products.

I co-founded Plataformatec, a software consultancy that was acqui-hired by Nubank in 2020. The company grew to R$20 million in revenue and had over 65 people working with clients such as Nubank, Bionexo, Youse, Abril, Locaweb, Easynvest, and Walmart.

Throughout this growth, I gained experience as an individual contributor and manager in software engineering, sales, business development, and SaaS products. Plataformatec was also known worldwide as the company behind the creation of the Elixir programming language.

After Plataformatec, I co-founded SourceLevel, a SaaS platform focused on metrics and analytics for engineering teams.

Most recently, I worked as a Principal Engineer at a Brazilian Fintech, where I architected and shipped the full AI stack (Elixir LLM Agent + RAG + MCP) that now serves over 3 million merchants in Brazil and the US.

My main programming languages are Elixir and Ruby, and I often contribute back to the open-source community. I also speak regularly at events and local meetups.
