About me

I'm a Software Engineer from Francisco Beltrão, Brazil, with a B.Sc. in Software Engineering and a postgraduate degree in Web Development. I've been building software professionally since 2018, starting from support and implementations, evolving into fullstack and backend roles across diverse industries.

Currently at WEX, I work on end-to-end .NET microservices development with high-quality standards, cloud services on Azure, and observability using OpenTelemetry, Grafana, and Splunk. Fluent in both Portuguese and English, I work daily in international teams. I'm passionate about clean architecture, scalable systems, and developer experience.
