What I'm looking for

I’m looking to AI-powered engineering in distributed environments—building autonomous agents and RAG pipelines while keeping strong observability, resilience.

I’m a Sr. Staff Software Engineer with 20+ years of experience designing distributed systems and driving technical strategy across fintech, marketplaces, telecom, and enterprise SaaS. A defining thread of my career is cross-company impact—authoring architectural decisions that became standards adopted across multiple product lines and squads.

Now, I lead the engineering practice at ProV International across Brazil and India, with direct technical influence over 40+ engineers. I set architectural standards, shape delivery culture, and connect technology decisions to measurable business outcomes at scale through architecture reviews, RFC/ADR governance, and org-wide platform consistency.

I’m now applying that foundation to AI-powered engineering—building autonomous agents, RAG pipelines, Model Context Protocol (MCP) integrations, and AI-augmented workflows that reduce toil while improving consistency and accelerating delivery. I do this without sacrificing observability and resilience, pairing deep system engineering with practical AI orchestration patterns.
