About
I combine technical leadership and hands-on execution to turn critical challenges into consistent delivery.
My journey
At Act Digital I lead multidisciplinary squads on the Ambev program, evolving mission-critical internal systems with NestJS, Next.js, and event-driven integrations that connect the entire company.
I drive technical discovery with Ambev business, logistics, and technology stakeholders to map strategic integrations, define API standards, and ensure microservice governance with end-to-end observability.
From 2024 to 2025 at Grupo Profarma I led the digital platforms team sustaining pharmaceutical distribution operations across Brazil, designing services with NestJS, queue-based messaging, and standardized observability.
From 2022 to 2024 at Banco BMG I led squads that modernized digital banking experiences. I structured products in Next.js and Flutter, maintained a shared design system, and implemented CI/CD pipelines, analytics, and feature flags that accelerated releases without compromising compliance.
My foundation comes from seven years in the Brazilian Army, where I reached the rank of Third Sergeant. Leading platoons and building internal software strengthened discipline, communication, and risk management—skills I apply to every engineering decision today.
I combine these experiences to create collaborative environments, foster technical autonomy, and align architecture with the metrics that matter to the business.
