About

Senior Staff AI Engineer at Stone, building applied Generative AI systems that deliver real value to clients. My work sits at the intersection of AI research and large-scale product engineering: designing systems that don't just work in a notebook, but ship and scale.

Experience

I've been writing software since 2010 and working professionally in the industry since 2012. Over that time I've built things at some of Brazil's most relevant tech companies: Globo.com, OLX, PicPay, and now Stone.

Academic background

PhD from PUC-Rio and Master's in Artificial Intelligence from UFRJ. My research has been cited at top venues including RecSys. Rigorous foundations and practical product thinking reinforce each other, and I've built my career around that belief.

Entrepreneurship

I've built and accelerated three startups, one of them incubated at the Google Campus in London. Each one shaped how I think about building products under real constraints.

Community & open source

I'm a frequent conference speaker and a dedicated open-source advocate. I believe programming languages are just a medium for helping people. Collaboration is usually the right answer, and when it comes to code, sharing is how we all get better.

Outside of work

Family, dogs, sports, and cold beer with good friends. That's where the energy comes from.

Whether designing AI systems, building companies, or speaking at a conference, the goal is the same: use technology as a catalyst for education and high-impact problem-solving.
