About

I'm a software engineer from Guarujá, Brazil — curious about how things actually work under the hood.

Started in my early teens messing around with HTML, CSS, and shell scripts. It stuck.

I made it to the finals of a hackathon that started with over 10,000 participants — that opened the door to my first job.

Since then I've worked across fintech and healthcare. Lately, Rust has been my rabbit hole.
