I secure cloud platforms and AI agents through offensive, automated security engineering.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, automated security solutions at the intersection of cybersecurity and AI, especially in fast-paced, high-growth environments where I can mature security teams, apply an offensive mindset, and share knowledge.

At Zippi, I secure production AI agents and rebuild security operations so agents handle recurring work for a Brazilian credit fintech. Previously at KnowBe4, I automated security operations and built cybersecurity tools using Python, Terraform, AWS, CI/CD, Localstack, multiple LLM models, and AI agents.

I've led offensive security, AppSec, cloud, Kubernetes, vulnerability management, and DevSecOps initiatives at Rocket.Chat and Pipefy, while building security teams for high-growth companies. As a founder and hacking educator, I created an educational phishing-simulation product and enjoy making complex security concepts accessible in English and Portuguese.
