He combines hands-on engineering—from web development and .NET systems to big data, ML and AI challenges—with teaching experience as a former university professor, which informs his emphasis on clarity and mentorship. A co-founder of a university junior company and former Entrepreneur in Residence at a startup studio, he brings entrepreneurial rigor and product-mindedness to data projects. His background spans the full data lifecycle: architecture, ETL, API development and data-intensive R&D, and he thrives in collaborative, customer-focused environments. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he is particularly interested in data science, agile methods and emerging technologies. An often-overlooked strength is his track record of translating academic teaching into practical team enablement and documentation that accelerates onboarding and knowledge transfer.
