About

I build from the ground up — system to interface.

My work sits at the intersection of fullstack engineering, AI integration, and a strong bias toward shipping systems that survive contact with reality.

Engineering Journey

2020

Started coding with a bias toward shipping

Moved quickly from fundamentals into real builds, learning by putting work under pressure instead of leaving it in tutorial mode.

2024

Founded ImpulsoLead

Focused on a market with urgency, signal, and room for better software: Brazilian real estate.

Now

Building with engineering discipline

Balancing product ambition, engineering quality, and operational reality with a preference for systems that scale cleanly.

Operating Principles

Clarity, leverage, and choices that age well.

I care about product choices that can still look intelligent six months later.

The right solution is rarely the flashiest one. I start with where time, trust, or decision quality is actually being lost.

Built for signal

Strong products earn attention twice: once visually, then again through execution.
