About
I’m a backend and cloud-focused software engineer, driven by building reliable distributed systems and AI-enabled features that integrate smoothly with real-world services. I’ve led the design and delivery of APIs, SaaS platforms, and operational tooling using Go, Python, and TypeScript, with a strong emphasis on security, observability, and performance.
In my recent work at IplanRio for the Rio de Janeiro city government, I’ve connected AI agents to municipal services using secure authentication flows, hybrid search, and production-grade pipelines on Kubernetes/GKE with Terraform and Argo CD. As a co-founder of Vizo, I’ve taken product ideas through architecture and implementation, including multi-tenant clinical management and AI workflow integrations, always aiming for pragmatic engineering that scales.

Designed and developed municipal service APIs (courses, job opportunities, citizen data) using Go, Python, PostgreSQL, and Redis. Connected AI agents to public services via MCP/gateways and implemented authentication using Keycloak, JWT, and GOV.BR OAuth 2.0/PKCE. Built hybrid search for service discovery using embeddings, query expansion, and reranking, plus a virtual waiting room to manage traffic spikes. Operated services on Kubernetes/GKE with Terraform, GitHub Actions and Argo CD, and added instrumentation with OpenTelemetry and Prometheus. Implemented incident triage and GCP anomaly monitoring workflows integrating AI agents, messaging, and operational alerts.
Supported internal and client information security teams by developing policies, procedures, reports, and technical documentation aligned with ISO 27001/ISO 27002. Used Python for security-focused data and log analysis, improving documentation quality and aiding security compliance efforts.
Worked on game development in Unity using C# and supported commercial activities including proposals and client relationship management.
