            I am a software engineer, engineering leader, founder, and product
            builder currently living in Brazil with my wife and two children.
            Over the last decade I have worked across startups, AI, biotech,
            consumer products, infrastructure, and automation, always gravitating
            toward difficult technical problems where software can create
            outsized leverage.

              PostgreSQL, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI-powered workflows.

            The best technology removes complexity rather than adding it. Great

          <p>
            Outside of my day job, I spend most of my time building. I have
            launched products in AI, SaaS, developer tooling, restaurant
            technology, and automation. Some succeeded, some failed, and all of
            them taught me something valuable.

          <p>
            What keeps me motivated is the same thing that motivated me when I
            started writing software: the ability to create something from
            nothing.
