About me

I’m a Brazilian software engineer and AI builder based in Malta. I use PHP, Laravel, Vue.js, TypeScript, and AI to turn ideas into useful web products faster.

My AI engineering work includes building and orchestrating agents, tools, and review steps. I use them to move quickly while keeping architecture clear, code maintainable, and changes tested and secure.

I enjoy publishing reusable open-source work, including Laravel SSO, Landpack, and the Mary UI Laravel Starter Kit. I’m also an indie hacker who likes taking products from the first commit to launch. Away from the keyboard, I’m usually traveling or listening to heavy music louder than necessary 🤘🏼.
