Two decades of breaking things and fixing them
Software engineer. Building things since the late 90s, when my dad brought home a Pentium 133 with 16MB of RAM and I spent hours figuring out how to install software from stacks of floppy disks.
I've been writing code professionally for nearly two decades. I started with PHP and HTML in a small town in Brazil, building local news portals and event photo galleries before most people had internet access at home. That curiosity never stopped.
Today I run Zap Tech, a software development company where I lead distributed teams building production systems focused on distributed systems, realtime infrastructure, and blockchain solutions. We've shipped products ranging from EdTech platforms to crypto launchpads on Solana.
What I've done
Led engineering teams at climate tech startups, EdTech companies, and call center software platforms. Shipped mobile apps, migrated monoliths to AWS, and built systems handling millions of requests.
Founded companies since 2013. Some failed. Some pivoted. Some are still running. The best education money can’t buy.
Served in the Brazilian Air Force as a software development lead, building high-traffic access control systems deployed across multiple bases.
Built crypto infrastructure on Solana — from bonding curves and token launchpads to perpetuals platforms backed by custom oracle designs.
What I care about
I'm a cypherpunk at heart. Bitcoin, Austrian economics, decentralization, individual sovereignty. I believe software should be fast, simple, and respect the user.
I write mostly in TypeScript and Rust these days. I think most applications don’t need microservices. I believe dark mode is a mistake, and that good typography matters more than fancy animations.
Elsewhere
Based in Brazil. Building for the world.
