I'm a software engineer based in Rio de Janeiro. Right now I focus on architecture, mostly on GCP, and on building solutions that put AI to work: agents, MCP, and automations that actually make it to production.

I've spent a good amount of time on backend work with Java, Python, .NET/C#, and TypeScript. Microservices, events, Stripe and PIX payments, messaging, licensing. That background is what helps me treat AI as engineering: clear contracts, observability, and a plan for when things break.

I enjoy studying and shipping agents with ADK, Vertex AI, and MCP. What draws me in is the practical side: tool orchestration, cold start, cost, and reliability. I also keep personal projects going, like Astra, a personalized AI intelligence newsletter.

If you want to chat about architecture, agents, or something you're building, I'm around.
