Brazil

Message

At BMW Group, through Ília, I deliver features across .NET and Node.js backend-for-frontend services and the Flutter apps for My BMW and MINI. I own the BMW AI Assistant backend-for-frontend and Flutter chat UI, including LLM gateway integration, session and context handling, recommendations, and image upload.

I’ve modernized services and platform routing, rebuilt metrics-based observability with Grafana, and strengthened performance and resilience with caching, retries, and circuit breakers. Since 2024, I’ve led a four-person .NET and Flutter team, mentored developers, and supported mobile quality through modularization, UI tests, and design-system updates.
