About me

I’ve been tinkering with computers and writing code since I was a kid. I started my career as a software engineer in my late teens, and have been in the field for nearly two decades.

I’m a generalist. I have worked with many different tech stacks and codebases over the years and strongly believe in picking the right tool for the job. I’m versatile with the kind of work I do, but it tends to involve end-to-end ownership, from discovery through production. I’ve been described as a founding engineer or startup engineer, though not always at startups.

I’m self taught. While I’ve chosen a technical profession, I’ve always been just as interested in the humanities and the arts. I studied Literature at university but did not complete the degree.

I work from home in Minas Gerais, Brazil. I’m a dual Brazilian and Italian citizen.
