I'm Senior Director of Engineering at Parloa, where we're figuring out how to make AI conversations actually work reliably at scale. The kind of problem where "move fast and break things" doesn't fly. I've been in tech for 18+ years. Started fixing computers in João Pessoa, Brazil, eventually moved into software, and made my way across Europe building teams and systems.

I write from time to time, and those thoughts end up in writing. I read a good deal more than I write, and the books that stuck are in reading. I also like talking about what I have had to figure out the hard way, which is speaking. If you want the longer version of all this, it is in about.

Beyond the Code

When I’m not thinking about distributed systems, you’ll find me managing my homelab (Kubernetes clusters, self-hosted everything), brewing coffee with an amount of precision that my family finds unreasonable, strategizing over D&D campaigns, and being a dedicated dad and husband. The homelab is where I experiment. The coffee is where I focus. The D&D is where I accept that even the best-laid plans fall apart.
