About

AI Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience. I build production LLM features in TypeScript and Node.js — RAG, agents and conversation memory — for a product used by 30,000+ people. Today I work on the broker-facing web app of a US freight brokerage platform at DAT Freight & Analytics.

My first four years were backend and full-stack, where I traced 600,000+ failed integrations to a single root cause and ran a zero-downtime migration for 1,000+ enterprise clients. I work from Brazil on UTC-3 and cover the full US East Coast day. English C2 (EF SET 78/100).
