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.

The writing here stopped in 2021, though newer pieces went out elsewhere. The reading list still grows, and speaking is the page that moves. The rest of the biography is on 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.
