Who I am

I build freedom with n8n, AI, and smart automations. My passion for technology started in 1996, at the age of 13, when I began creating mods for the game Quake. Since then, I’ve never stopped experimenting, learning, and building.

Today, I’m co-CEO at Hemp Vegan, where we combine technology, health, impact, and nature to create purpose-driven solutions. I also work as a CTO as a Service, helping startups and companies move from chaos to real products. Whether building MVPs, reorganizing teams, or modernizing legacy systems, my focus is always clear and smart execution.

Between chaos and code

I’ve had two exits: AZPay, Brazil’s first fintech with a freemium model, which accelerated over 4,000 websites in 2018; and AIDAX, a Brazilian API-based analytics platform, finalist at Collision Conference 2016, now Web Summit. I was also the CTO at Remessa Online, the first independent platform for international money transfers. I led the tech team through one of its most critical phases, reaching over 350,000 clients, R$11 billion in transactions, and 527,000 operations. Remessa Online was acquired by EBANX for R$1.2 billion in 2021.

A new world needs new rules

I’m also part of a new universe under construction: Cannaverse — a constantly evolving digital world that connects technology and cannabis. I believe this ecosystem holds massive potential for innovation. At Hemp Vegan, I’m privileged to bring creative and effective solutions to a sector that needs more science and less stigma.

Autonomous agents and real-world solutions

Lately I’ve been diving into AI, focusing on the creation of autonomous agents, smart n8n flows, and the integration of large language models into real-world projects.

If you’d like to talk about R&D, activation, ignition, architecture, or innovation, invite me for coffee. I’d love to hear from you.
