I'm a software engineer from São Paulo, Brazil, with a background in Control Engineering and Machine Learning, and an alumnus of the University of São Paulo (USP) and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU).
I love playing around with different programming languages, reading textbooks, and try to improve everything I touch.
I work as a Senior Software Engineer at Tarmac. I'm largely responsible for refactoring and fixing old codebases, improving test suites, and building internal dev tools. The tech stack is mostly Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, React, Docker, and a lot of AWS.
I'm interested in discussing job opportunities, specifically related to Ruby or Elixir web development.
- Former Pokémon VG Tournament Organizer & Judge: I started the local competitive Pokémon (video game) scene in São Paulo back in 2007 and was a part of it until 2018. As part of the Professor Program, I was invited to travel to other countries (Australia, UK, US) as a Judge for International-level events.
- In 2025, I decided to get back to playing video games and earned an invitation to compete in the Pokémon World Championship.
- I converted a tiny room in my apartment to a woodworking workshop. I mostly build small boxes and cabinets for our own use, but I also made our dining table.
- I keep a bunch of plants, with some bonsai (which I've been taking care for 10+ years), herbs for tea, and a guava tree.
