## Professional Experience

### Paramount
**Senior Python/Data Engineer** | *September 2026 – Present (1 month)*

### Focuz Analytics
**Senior Python/Data Engineer** | *May 2025 – July 2026 (1 year 3 months)*

**Problem / challenge**
Built an AI-first video analytics platform with a small, distributed international team, aimed at security and customer-experience use cases. The core challenge was ingesting and processing live video from 100+ cameras across multiple edge-site locations, running computer vision in near real time, and making footage searchable in plain language — all while keeping the system reliable across distributed sites and shipping across time zones.

**What I did & the impact**
* Designed scalable Python/FastAPI backend services and an edge service for camera communication and video streaming (RTSP/WebRTC via go2rtc), handling 200 concurrent streams from 100+ cameras across multiple edge locations.
* Automated provisioning and management of edge sites with Ansible, making deployments across distributed locations repeatable and reducing manual setup.
* Implemented MQTT-based messaging for IoT device control across the camera fleet.
* Integrated computer vision (YOLO, PyTorch) and natural-language search over video using PostgreSQL + pgvector, letting users find footage in plain language rather than scrubbing through feeds.
* Built LLM-powered agentic AI workflows with LangChain, connecting language models to the platform's vector search and camera metadata for video analytics and search.
* Worked on the analytics data layer with dbt and Snowflake, structuring platform data for reporting and downstream analysis.
* Containerized the stack with Docker on Linux for reproducible deploys across edge and cloud.

**Learnings & growth**
* Came in with a solid senior Python and data-engineering background, but this was my first time owning edge infrastructure end to end — learned to reason about streaming, latency, and distributed-site reliability rather than batch/data pipelines.
* Picked up a new technology stack from scratch: MQTT, RTSP, WebRTC, and go2rtc for real-time video at the edge, plus dbt, Snowflake, and LangChain on the data and AI side.
* Grew at managing fleet-scale infrastructure declaratively with Ansible and at async collaboration across an international team.

* *Technologies utilized:* Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, pgvector, Snowflake, dbt, LangChain, PyTorch, SQLite, MQTT, RTSP, WebRTC, go2rtc, Ansible, Docker, Linux, YOLO.

### Start Future
**Co-Founder, Software Development & Data Engineering Teacher** | *October 2021 – January 2026 (4 years 4 months)* | *São Paulo, Brazil*

**Problem / challenge**
Co-founder and software development teacher at Start Future, a venture I ran for ~4 years with two friends around a clear mission: make quality education affordable. The teaching thread started earlier — I'd been drawn to it since high school through study groups and serving as whole-school student representative, and in early 2021 I created "Pythonland," a study group (mostly friends and referrals) with weekly sessions and 1-on-1s to help people define learning and career roadmaps in IT. Start Future turned that instinct into a real organization. The core challenge was building an intensive 3-month bootcamp that could take students with varied backgrounds and genuinely prepare them for different roles — Front-end, Back-end, UX/UI, or Scrum Master — each needing its own tailored curriculum and dynamics, while simultaneously getting the business itself off the ground: partnerships, funding, and events.

**What I did & the impact**
* Co-founded and co-led the startup for ~4 years, owning partnerships alongside co-leading the organization overall.
* Designed and ran an intensive 3-month bootcamp with role-specific tracks (Front-end, Back-end, UX/UI, Scrum Master), including the tailored classes and dynamics for each — and filled the cohorts with students.
* Taught and mentored over 40 students across the four years; more than 80% landed jobs within a few months of finishing — and since most were seeking their first role, they consistently cited the Start Future experience as the standout case in their interviews.
* Took the company through FIAP's startup acceleration program, which opened doors to multiple business partnerships and high-end venture events — including opportunities to pitch to Brazil's Shark Tank backstage evaluation team and to angel investors.
* Placed top 10 in FIAP's yearly student-startup competition, external recognition for the venture among its peers.
* Ran "Pythonland" beforehand — weekly group sessions plus 1-on-1 career and learning-roadmap guidance, helping people find a direction in IT based on their background and interests.

**Learnings & growth**
* The most solid leadership experience I've had — co-leading an organization end to end, not just a team within someone else's structure.
* Learned to operate on two fronts at once: the business side (partnerships, acceleration program, pitching to investors, events) and the delivery side (teaching, curriculum design, managing students through projects).
* Developed curriculum-design skills, building distinct learning tracks for four different career paths rather than teaching one thing one way.
* Deepened my ability to meet learners where they are — a through-line from Pythonland's 1-on-1 roadmapping to managing 40+ students — and to translate technical material for people at very different starting points.
* Learned to pitch and sell a vision to external stakeholders — investors, partners, and students alike — and sustained a mission-driven venture over four years, gaining the resilience and range that running something long-term demands.

### Kantar IBOPE Media
**Mid-Senior Software/Data Engineer** | *April 2024 – May 2025 (1 year 2 months)* | *São Paulo, Brazil*

**Problem / challenge**
Worked in a global, multidisciplinary team (LATAM, Europe, Asia) building a budget-management product for advertising campaigns — covering pre-campaign, post-campaign, and live "on-flight" optimization across cross-media channels (TV, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram). The challenge was unifying fragmented data from multiple ad exchanges and channels into reliable, real-time metrics that marketing teams could act on while campaigns were still running.

**What I did & the impact**
* Implemented multiple solutions end-to-end, from ad-exchange and Meta Marketing API integrations through to delivery, providing audience-reach, impact, and conversion metrics segmented by demographics and device type (mobile, TV, social, streaming, VOD).
* Built and optimized large-scale data pipelines on a Medallion architecture (ELT/ETL, ingestion, micro-aggregators) using Spark/Databricks, Airflow, and Azure Data Factory — handling 500M+ lines of processing on some projects and improving the performance of multiple pipelines.
* Helped design the refactoring of the whole data system, raising performance and maintainability across the platform.
* Delivered business-critical KPIs in Power BI built on statistical modeling and data science, served on daily, periodic, and real-time cadences for marketing decision-making.

**Learnings & growth**
* Came in with strong PySpark and data-engineering fundamentals, but picked up a substantial new stack here: Azure Data Factory, Google BigQuery, and the Meta Marketing APIs, while deepening my Databricks experience.
* Learned the marketing/ad-tech business logic from the ground up and got good at translating it into technical implementation — repeatedly bridging the gap between business needs and the data systems behind them.
* Grew into a reference point on the team for how the system worked, the person others came to for connecting business logic to tech across multiple projects.

### BDO Brazil
**Total Tenure: 3 years** | *São Paulo, Brazil*

* **Mid-Senior Software/Data Engineer (Acting Team Lead)** | *August 2023 – April 2024 (9 months)*
* **Software Engineer** | *August 2022 – September 2023 (1 year 2 months)*
* **Junior Software Engineer** | *May 2021 – August 2022 (1 year 4 months)*

**Problem / challenge**
My role at BDO Brazil shifted significantly in my third year when the team's manager left. Over the following year I stepped up to fill much of that gap on a team of six — taking on task management, team leadership, and acting as the bridge between the company Partners (who also served as Product Owners) and the engineering team. The core challenge was operating on both ends at once: pulling priorities and requirements out of the Partners, then translating them into clear, actionable tasks and design guidance for the team, largely through back-to-back calls each day. On top of this, a company-wide re-prioritization surfaced high-risk security vulnerabilities in our software — high enough stakes that they had to be remediated within a few months — with me as the point person working alongside the cybersecurity team.

**What I did & the impact**
* Progressed from Junior to Mid-Senior Software/Data Engineer over three years, and stepped into an acting team-lead role after the manager's departure — effectively leading a team of six for a year, owning task management, prioritization, and acting as the main interface between Partners/POs and the engineering team.
* Led remediation of high-risk vulnerabilities alongside the cybersecurity team — identified the issues, drove the fixes, and cleared them within the critical few-month window before they became a serious risk to the company.
* Owned AWS deployments (EC2, ECS, Lambda, with load-balanced apps) and acted as one of the main PR reviewers, safeguarding code quality and keeping delivery moving.
* Represented the team at internal meetings and gave public talks at internal conferences, becoming the team's external-facing voice.
* Unblocked engineers on hard technical problems and helped design solutions when teammates got stuck.
* Across the tenure, delivered the core engineering work behind these responsibilities: advanced web scraping and data-harvesting engines, data processing and mining workflows, automated file manipulation (`.json`, `.csv`, `.xlsx`, `.txt`), clean RESTful APIs and dynamic HTML rendering with Flask, automated report generators (Excel, CSV, layout-clean PDFs), and end-to-end web automation routines to boost corporate efficiency.

**Learnings & growth**
* Grew from an individual contributor into a de-facto lead of a six-person team almost overnight — learned task management, prioritization, and leadership under real pressure rather than in a planned transition, and sustained it over a year.
* Developed the skill of translating between two very different audiences: extracting and clarifying priorities from business stakeholders, then communicating them clearly to engineers (and vice versa).
* Got significantly closer to security for the first time — learned to assess and remediate real, high-risk vulnerabilities under time pressure, working hand-in-hand with a dedicated cybersecurity team.
* Built confidence in public speaking and representing a team's work to the wider company.
* *Technologies utilized:* Python, FastAPI, Flask, MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Docker, AWS (EC2, ECS, Lambda, Load Balancing, Cloud9), Linux.

### Exotic India
**Volunteer Exchange Program Developer (via AIESEC)** | *May 2022 – June 2022 (2 months)* | *Delhi, India*

**Problem / challenge**
A volunteer exchange in India through AIESEC, which I took on using the entirety of my vacation days from my role at BDO — my first international experience of any kind (first flight, first time abroad, first time using English daily). I joined a traditional Indian e-commerce company, initially slated as a photographer's assistant, but after an interview with the owners at the end of my very first day — where they saw my tech background — they moved me onto a brand-new data team. The central challenge sat in their book-listing workflow: they scanned and edited large numbers of books by hand every day to upload to their site, cropping each one manually — a slow, repetitive bottleneck. Alongside this, the new data team had no visualization, dashboarding, or real-time data infrastructure at all.

**What I did & the impact**
* Built a Python + OpenCV application that automatically detected book covers and pages and cropped them, cutting processing from ~3 minutes to ~1 minute per book — a 3x productivity gain on a high-frequency daily task.
* Packaged the tool as a standalone local binary, so it ran on their machines with no complex deployment or infrastructure required.
* Scoped the automation myself by talking directly to the area's owner to understand which parts of the manual workflow could realistically be automated.
* Built a Grafana platform from scratch — including deployment — and created specific dashboards, giving the new data team its first visualization environment.
* Set up an MVP ELK stack with Docker so the team could handle their real-time data — another piece of foundational infrastructure that hadn't existed before.

**Learnings & growth**
* My first international experience on every axis at once — first flight, first time in a foreign country, first time relying on English day-to-day — which stretched me well beyond the technical work.
* Learned to adapt fast when my role changed unexpectedly: reassigned from photographer's assistant to owning technical projects on a brand-new data team after a single day, following a first-day interview with the owners.
* Chose to spend my entire vacation allowance on a volunteer placement abroad — a deliberate bet on growth, new cultures, and practicing English over rest.
* Practiced translating a vague business pain point ("this is slow") into a scoped, shipped automation by working directly with the person who owned the process.
* Grew in cross-cultural collaboration and communicating technical ideas to non-technical stakeholders in a second language.

### Caixa Econômica Federal
**Intern - Developer/Data** | *February 2018 – February 2020 (2 years 1 month)* | *São Paulo e Região, Brasil*

**Problem / challenge**
My very first role, started while I was in my second year of high school at Caixa Econômica Federal, one of Brazil's largest public banks — a fixed 2-year contract from the outset (permanent roles in Brazilian public organizations require an exam that only opens every 5–10 years and wasn't open at the time, so I knew the timeframe going in). I was originally hired as an administrative assistant — printing and organizing documents, printer maintenance, sending cards, and general office tasks. On my first day, while I was waiting at reception for a slow onboarding, the IT Director struck up a conversation, discovered my interest in technology (I'd started IT courses at nine and had already taught myself JavaScript and Visual Basic), and heard me out. The challenge that shaped the role: in a public bank with very high security standards, I had intranet-only access and the sole programming environment available was Excel with VBA — so any automation I wanted to build had to be done within those tight constraints.

**What I did & the impact**
* Moved from administrative work into development within ~3 months, building automations in VBA: spreadsheet automation and maintenance, results-comparison charts between regional business units, certificate generation and updates, supplier-result comparisons, and direct-mail data processing and generation.
* Wrote macros to automate repetitive daily tasks, plus minor Bash scripts for file organization and backup, working entirely within the bank's locked-down, intranet-only environment.
* By my second year, took ownership of several data pipelines end-to-end — coordinating directly with other departments of the bank to deliver them.
* Became the go-to person for smaller daily-basis automations, since most developers were tied up on high-priority work — freeing their time by absorbing that recurring workload.

**Learnings & growth**
* My first professional role of any kind, taken while still in high school on a known 2-year contract — learned how a large, highly regulated organization actually works from the inside.
* Learned to build real, useful software within hard constraints (intranet-only, VBA as the only available language) rather than reaching for the ideal tool — a lesson in solving the problem with what's actually in front of you.
* Taught myself Scrum and Kanban through the bank's internal learning platform and applied them on my own daily basis — Scrum to organize projects and Kanban to manage all my tasks — building working habits I wasn't required to adopt.
* Grew from executing assigned tasks into owning projects and pipelines end-to-end, including talking to other departments and taking responsibility for delivery.
* Had my interest in software engineering recognized and backed early — an experience that validated the path I'd been teaching myself since childhood.
