## About

```text
At CSDBR, I launched Balcão+, a Central Bank-approved secondary-market trading platform for bank CDs (CDBs), opening R$ 203 billion to trading. I also trimmed the planned build from more than two years to an eight-month MVP.

I built a market-research agent pipeline with Claude and Claude Code that cut research time from two to three weeks to two hours. I authored CSDBR's AI best-practices guide, adopted by more than 100 colleagues.

As Product Manager, I helped transform CSD BR from a registry-only system into Brazil's second Central Securities Depository. Settlement now averages R$ 1.8 billion per day across five clients.

Earlier, I worked as an Associate Product Manager at CSDBR and a QA Analyst at Volkswagen do Brasil. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Materials Engineering from Federal University of São Carlos (UFSCar) and the Professional Scrum Product Owner, Level 1 (PSPO) certification.
