👋 Who I Am
Hey! I’m a Brazilian software engineer with over 18 years of experience building B2B systems, APIs, and platform integrations. My journey spans industries like payments, insurance, mobility, and gaming—with a strong focus on scalable architecture, clean interfaces, and making systems easy to evolve.
For the last 7+ years, I’ve been working in international teams across Europe, blending engineering leadership with hands-on coding. I’ve worn many hats—from individual contributor to principal—always focused on delivering solid systems and helping teams grow.
💼 What I Do
Here’s a quick look at some of my recent roles:
🕹️ Principal Engineer @ Guerrilla Games Building platform services to support online gameplay at scale.
💳 Software Engineer @ Mollie Designed secure credit card tokenization APIs in PCI DSS environments.
🛵 Lead Backend Engineer @ felyx Developed microservices in Go for a fast-growing e-mobility platform.
Earlier in my career, I worked with major companies like Petrobras, Michelin, and Bradesco Seguros, leading technical projects in large-scale enterprise environments.
🧠 What I Care About
I’m not a fan of bureaucracy or over-engineering. I prefer simple solutions with strong foundations and and teams that aren’t afraid to challenge the status quo.
🏃♂️ Life Outside the IDE
I’m an early riser who trains hard — lifting weights, running fasted (most mornings), and trying to roll on the mats at jiu-jitsu classes. You’ll usually find me on the hunt for the best Negroni 🥃 in the city. I'm also a food lover (spicy food has my heart), a very early-stage DJ 🎛️ (learning to remix and produce) and addicted to coffee ☕️ , naturally.
Always up for a good cocktail bar recommendation. Wanna connect through sport? Here’s my Strava profile — drop yours too!
