Who I am.

Technical Lead with a double degree in Computer Science and Business Administration, specializing in the intersection of engineering and marketing automation.

I focus on building privacy-compliant tracking infrastructures (HIPAA, Meta CAPI) and replacing manual workflows with custom API integrations.

As a former collegiate athlete from Brazil, I've spent my career working remotely across the US and am currently based in Boston. I thrive in remote-first environments where I can apply a technical background to solve complex business challenges.
