His background spans consumer apps, watchOS BLE integrations for connected vehicles, and repeated App Store-featured projects from Brazilian market leaders. Beyond software, Paulo is a hands-on hardware tinkerer—an Arduino/microcontroller enthusiast who builds custom smart-home devices, DIY lighting effects and analog laser scanning projectors—bringing a maker’s curiosity to product engineering. He combines deep mobile engineering discipline with practical systems thinking, able to move between low-level hardware projects and high-scale mobile platforms. Based in São Paulo, he pairs technical leadership with a long history of mentoring and founding early iOS teams.
