About

Backend engineer with 5+ years crafting production systems. Currently at Empath, working on API architecture and AI-powered pipelines.

I've scaled communication services to handle 100k+ daily events, built real-time trading integrations, and architected systems serving enterprise clients. I care about clean code, system reliability, and shipping things that matter.

Based in Goiânia, Brazil. Father of three. When I'm not coding, you'll find me with family, enjoying good conversations about life and the craft of building things well.
