About

A bit about me

I'm a software engineer from Belo Horizonte, Brazil, with a genuine passion for building systems that scale. I started coding during university, teaching Object-Oriented Programming as a teaching assistant — and ever since, I've been hooked on the craft of turning complex problems into clean, reliable solutions.

Most of my career was spent at Dti Digital, where I grew from developer to tech lead on a platform serving 400,000+ students. That experience shaped how I think about architecture: async pipelines, microservices, observability, and the kind of decisions that only reveal themselves at scale.

Today I work at Stefanini consulting for Dell, focused on React and ASP.NET Core. Outside of work, I care about mentoring, clean APIs, and the occasional side project that teaches me something new.

Projects

Things I've built

Backend · Dti Digital

Async Multi-Branch Provisioning Pipeline

Re-engineered a synchronous provisioning workflow into a fully async, event-driven pipeline using Azure Service Bus. The original system blocked threads waiting for long-running branch setup operations, causing frequent timeouts and poor user experience at scale.

Reduced execution time from 5+ minutes to seconds. Zero timeouts after rollout.

Mobile · Volunteer

Social Impact Mobile App

Built a volunteer mobile application to connect communities with local social initiatives in the Vale do Jequitinhonha region. The project also served as a hands-on programming introduction for 20 beginners, combining real product development with education.

Delivered working app for Fundo Social Vale do Jequitinhonha. Taught programming to 20 first-time developers.
