What I'm looking for

I’m looking to use my technical skills and leadership to help dynamic, fast-moving, and innovative companies succeed.

At ZappyRide by J.D.Power, I architected an event-driven EV fleet intelligence SaaS and integrated AI agent applications using RAG, LangChain, and LangGraph. That work reduced manual data collection by 90%, while AI adoption engagements achieved a 70% reduction in people cost and 50% faster delivery.

Across roles at Crossover, IBM, Altran, and CTIS Informatica S/A, I worked on payment platforms, frontend architectures, insurance solutions, and Brazilian Post’s SARA automation system. I’ve focused on scalable cloud infrastructure, reliable systems, and performance improvements, including a 70% performance improvement for SARA through caching and smaller payloads.
