At Netflix (LATAM), I was the final technical approval authority across 60+ projects a year, bringing delivery errors to zero and partner readiness to 100%. I advised key enterprise partners on platform adoption, integrations and cloud architecture, defined quality criteria and managed SLAs for third-party QC vendors, turned performance data into executive business reviews (KPIs, OKRs) and evaluated AI use cases across audio and video workflows. Earlier at Netflix, I ran technical discovery and onboarding across the partner network, introduced AWS Snowball Edge as an ingest path for bandwidth-constrained environments, secured 0% import duty on professional broadcast equipment through the ex-tarifários process, and redesigned partner program (NP3) eligibility criteria for LATAM. At Globo, I managed a 35-person engineering and technical team in a 24×7 facility with no delivery delays or failures, consolidated a BRL 100M+ (USD 30M+) technology portfolio for C-level approval, and led IT projects from RFP to operations, including the migration from tape to file-based workflows. Today I work as an independent advisor on media technology and operations, and I moderated the End Users panel at Data Center World Brazil (Oct 2026). Fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Based in Greater São Paulo, open to remote roles worldwide. ``` ## Experience ### Independent Advisor - Media Technology & Operations (current) Independent.
