01 / ABOUT The person behind it

Building at the intersection of code, faith and curiosity.

— 01

I started in research as an undergrad at UFPI, inside a lab focused on Computer Vision and Computational Intelligence. My own focus, though, has always been audio signal processing. That's exactly what led me, years later, to co-found Zumbeedo: applying classical Machine Learning to hive audio to infer health and behavior.

I work Full-Stack: APIs, cloud infra, ML models, and interfaces people actually use. At Zumbeedo I lead engineering and multidisciplinary teams; at Jumpad I'm part of the team, building Generative-AI products under people who know far more than I do. Being on both sides, leading and being led, is what keeps the craft honest.

Off-screen I'm a violin student, a reader of classical literature, and a student of Reformed theology, member of the Christian Congregation in Brazil. Music, church history, and games fill the rest.

Software Engineer · Generative AI — Jumpad

Full-time · 1y+

I was one of the first two engineers hired, working alongside the founder, and wrote part of the product's earliest lines of code; the company has since grown to 29 people, most of them engineers. Jumpad is the first corporate intelligence management platform, built to centralize and govern the knowledge AIs produce inside organizations, turning conversations, meetings, and documents into a living corporate memory. The operation was accelerated by Google for Startups, is part of NVIDIA Inception, and serves clients such as Mercado Bitcoin, Superlógica Tecnologias, Pacific, and CAVEO, alongside partners like Oracle and Agility. I work as a Full-Stack engineer, designing and building the software architecture behind the product.

Co-Founder & Lead Software Engineer — Zumbeedo

Picos, PI · Remote · 4y+

Co-founded Zumbeedo to redefine beekeeping with affordable technology: an app that diagnoses hive health from the sound of the bees, with no extra sensors and working offline. I lead the tech teams (AI, UX, Backend, and Mobile), design the backend (APIs, cloud infra), and build the ML models applied to audio. The platform monitors 323 hives, and the research behind it has yielded publications in journals such as Expert Systems with Applications, a best paper award at CSBC, and more than R$90,000 raised in grants, prizes, and scholarships.
