At WatchTV, I lead an organization of approximately 25 professionals across four squads, with four managers reporting to me. Using DORA metrics, I moved the engineering organization from Low to High performance in about eight months.

I introduced WatchTV's first AI-First pilot for a strategic client. An initiative estimated at nine months, nine developers, and R$ 480K was delivered in 2.5 months by one developer and one architect, at a cost of R$ 45K.

At WatchTV, I also architected and implemented internal AWS Cloud solutions that replaced complex, costly SaaS platforms and generated more than R$ 500K in monthly savings. I implemented SRE practices with Datadog and Sentry, reducing incidents by 45% and improving MTTR by 60%.

At Engrenei, I designed an end-to-end solution around a proprietary AI model and built its MLOps layer. Earlier, at Hornet Motors, I developed, documented, and managed the e-commerce platform end to end, helping make it a market leader in its segment through a robust, scalable architecture.
