About

Architectural vision with real execution in high-demand environments

I work where technical decisions, production delivery and stable operation in regulated environments meet.

I build and lead platforms in the most sensitive parts of the financial sector: transactions, regulated integrations and core modernization without interrupting operations.

I decide based on clear criteria of domain, integration, regulatory risk and availability. Every technical choice has to make sense for engineering, for the business and for compliance.

The result is evolution with less improvisation: more stability in production, lower exposure to risk and consistent delivery in regulated environments.

  • Transactional integrity in production

Core offering

Legacy modernization and continuity without disruption

Reduces coupling and technical debt without stopping operations.

For legacy banking or tax cores that need to evolve while keeping availability and compliance (BACEN, LGPD).

  • Incremental transition
  • Technical debt reduction
  • Modernization without stopping operations

Core offering

Technical direction for product and implementation

Connects architectural decisions with execution all the way to production.

Financial products that call for coordination between architecture, engineering and compliance.

  • Clear technical scope
  • Hands-on implementation
  • Auditable, traceable delivery

Core offering

Custom platforms, automation and applied AI

Builds custom systems with automation and AI applied to day-to-day operations.

Automation and AI applied to financial operations — reconciliation, analysis and sensitive flows.

  • Custom systems for operations
  • Automation of sensitive flows
  • AI applied to financial contexts

Next step

Discuss architecture and define the next steps of evolution

A technical conversation to align architecture, dependencies and the implementation path.

Perceived value

What changes in practice

In critical environments, value shows up as stable operations, predictable integration and evolution without disruption.

Transactional integrity preserved

Changes to sensitive flows — payments, transfers, reconciliation — are carried out with a low chance of disruption and predictable operations during the transition.

More predictable regulated integrations

Contracts, traceability and architectural discipline reduce friction between domains and make the ecosystem auditable and reliable.

Core modernization without stopping operations

Incremental evolution of legacy systems, with clear technical direction, to reduce structural fragility without interrupting the business.

Track record

Consistent growth across applied engineering, architecture and critical backend

A history of deliveries and technical leadership positions in demanding enterprise environments.

  1. Apr 2026 — Present

    Tech Lead

    VPN — Venha Pra Nuvem

    Technical leadership of a portfolio of digital products — including the Mohz and IOX crowdfunding platforms — at a digital transformation and multicloud solutions consultancy. I lead the squad and the cycle ceremonies: Sprint Reviews, Plannings and backlog governance in Azure DevOps (Epic → Feature → User Story → Task).

    End-to-end engineering governance: branch, commit, pull request and pipeline standards, quality backed by SonarCloud and cycle automation with Husky and AI, linking each commit to a work item. I lead architecture, observability, security and modernization discussions with product, QA, infrastructure and the client, as well as the investigation of incidents and integration failures.
