What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and growth.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong foundation in computer engineering, having graduated first in my class from the Instituto Militar de Engenharia. My academic journey included an exchange program at the University of Ottawa, which broadened my perspective and enhanced my technical skills. I have a proven track record of developing innovative software solutions that streamline processes and improve efficiency.

In my recent role at Start Carreiras, I am focused on developing a contract management platform that simplifies the internship contract approval process for universities, companies, and students. Previously, at Giant Steps Capital, I managed complex data workflows and built scalable tools that significantly reduced strategy validation time. My experience spans various roles where I have successfully automated processes, improved developer tooling, and contributed to the deployment of automated trading strategies.
