About
I started at 12, in a room with a leaking roof, and built a site that became one of the most visited in Brazil. It paid for my college and set my career.
At 16 I was already building products for companies. Then came Europe, 31 countries, and Abu Dhabi, where I put an early AI product into production.
Today I am the CTO at Hubble. I write about engineering in public, and I do mentorship and talks.
On the record
Frameworks expire. Networks, databases, memory, and concurrency do not. The engineers who last are the ones who kept digging when the market rewarded speed.
Stability feels like safety right up to the moment the market moves. If nothing about your work has scared you in two years, that is data.
Being excellent and invisible is a choice, and an expensive one. Writing is the cheapest way to make your judgment legible to strangers.
Timeline
One of the most visited sites in Brazil, built with no money and no skills, then taken down by a platform. Rebuilt it with PHP, MySQL, and SEO learned overnight.
I started working for Brazilian companies.
A hundred interviews for a handful of offers. Europe and the UK. 31 countries as a nomad who still shipped on time.
Shipped an early AI product into production. Learned that explaining the work is half the work, and that discomfort teaches faster than any course.
Building the product and the engineering team behind it.
