Thirteen years keeping large platforms running.

I started on the web in 2013 and never really left it. Most of my work has been on systems that were already carrying people when I arrived: eBay Stores rebuilt from zero, a review site with over seven million monthly visitors that had to stay fast and findable, federal government projects with hundreds of thousands of users, and now the live classroom at Nerdy.

I manage the team and I have not stopped being an engineer. I still ship code most weeks, and I enjoy it: managing shows me where the leverage is, building keeps my opinions honest. The rest of the job is hiring well, interviewing honestly, and clearing whatever slows the team down.

After hours I run my own experiments: agentic coding workflows, a self-hosted AI knowledge system, and IoT projects that quietly automate corners of my home. Most of what I sell, I tested on myself first.

I lived eight years in Buenos Aires, have worked stretches from Europe, and have shipped with colleagues from more than 15 nationalities. That is why this practice runs in English, Portuguese and Spanish.

Along the way I picked up an MBA in Software Engineering from USP, a business degree from Universidade de Brasília, and Scrum Alliance CSM and A-CSD certifications. The business side of my counsel comes from there: I care about what a system costs and earns, not only how it is built.
