I build things across the stack — from embedded systems and IoT devices to distributed backends and ML pipelines. Currently working as SRE @ Flutter Brazil, but my background spans the full spectrum of software engineering.

I care about systems that scale, code that's easy to delete, and solving real problems with the right tool — whether that's Kubernetes, a neural network, or a microcontroller.

Former researcher at Insight Lab (UFC). Worked on Machine Learning, GANs, Edge Computing, and MLOps. Published work on ResearchGate.

• 📱 Herdr Phone — Drive the Herdr session on your Mac from a phone. Go relay with an embedded PWA, reached through a Cloudflare Tunnel with Access at the edge.
• 🎫 Herdr Shortcut — Herdr plugin. Pick a Shortcut story in a fast terminal UI, then launch Claude Code, Codex, or any harness Herdr reports in a new tab.
• 💬 mcp-slack — Read-only Slack MCP server in Go. Three tools, a channel allowlist, and no write path anywhere in the code.
• 🔄 LoopForge — Autonomous coding loops CLI. Orchestrate AI agents in iterative, PRD-driven development.
• 🏠 Homelab — Production-grade GitOps homelab with Proxmox, Talos, Kubernetes, and Terraform.
