I started as a software engineer, but after three years I wanted to shape the what and why, not just the how. Six years of design later, and nine years in tech total, that background still helps me work closely with engineering, and sharpens my vibe coding.
Outside of work, I love traveling, photography, learning new languages, and nerding out on personal finance and investing (a holdover from my Economics degree). I'm Brazilian American 🇧🇷🇺🇸 and have lived in two countries and six cities.
What I'm best at
- Security and B2B SaaS tools
- 0→1 products
- Strategy in ambiguous problems
- Technical fluency with engineering teams
My design-isms
- Debate happens in the absence of data
- A well-framed problem is half solved
- Adding one thing dilutes another
- Curiosity beats expertise
In my toolbox
Tool-agnostic, but lately I'm spending a lot of time experimenting with AI.
Get in touch
I'm currently looking for roles based in Spain or Portugal, remote or hybrid. Security is where I feel most at home, but I care more about who I'm building with than the domain. If your team is full of kind, talented people, I'd love to chat via or LinkedIn.
