I build web and mobile applications end to end — from interface design to back-end architecture and infrastructure. 8+ years turning ideas into fast, scalable, well-crafted products.
A little about me
Curious developer, teacher at heart and AI enthusiast. I like clean code, good conversations and products that solve real problems.
I'm a Senior Full Stack Developer with 8+ years building web and mobile products end to end, from interface design to back-end architecture and infrastructure.
At GSW I build eParts, Embraer's aircraft-parts platform, where I ship production AI: a RAG support chatbot and tool-calling agents on Mastra AI. Alongside my full-time work I have freelanced since 2018 under the Novecom brand, I'm the solo developer of two live SaaS products, and I've taught hundreds of students as an instructor. In 2026 I completed a postgraduate specialization in Full Stack Development, DevOps, Product and Artificial Intelligence at Faculdade de Tecnologia Rocketseat.

Development of eParts, Embraer's online aircraft-parts platform. Built an AI support chatbot that resolves users' questions with RAG, and tool-calling agents on Mastra AI that execute actions inside the system, such as parts-coverage lookups. I work in an agile team with daily standups and CI/CD pipelines, collaborating with architects and the project manager.
