About Me

Software Engineer focused on backend-heavy full-stack development, cloud-native systems, AI integration, and scalable web platforms.

I work across product engineering, backend architecture, infrastructure, automation, and system integration. My experience includes building high-traffic applications, AI-powered workflows, distributed systems, RAG pipelines, semantic search, queue-based processing, caching strategies, and cloud-native applications.

Currently, I work as a Forward Deployed Engineer at DevSignal, building AI-integrated solutions, backend systems, automation workflows, and technical evaluation processes for engineering candidates.

I am also pursuing a Postgraduate Degree in Distributed Software Architecture at PUC Minas.
