Software,Data and AIEngineer

I design AI agents, RAG architectures and ETL pipelines that remove manual work from real businesses. Five years of remote delivery across US and Brazilian teams.

01 — About

Systems that do the work nobody should do by hand.

I'm a Computer Engineering graduate from UFRGS — a top-5 ranked university in Latin America — working remotely from Florianópolis, Brazil. Over five years I've moved from full-stack product work into data engineering, and then into AI: agents, RAG pipelines and the automation plumbing that connects them to real business systems.

Today I build AI agents on n8n and HubSpot integrations for US clients, run WhatsApp-based agents for ten businesses, and share what I learn on YouTube. I work async, document everything, and ship independently across time zones.
