About

Professional summary

I am a Senior Product Manager with more than six years of experience building B2B fintech and financial-market infrastructure products in Brazil. I specialize in product strategy, discovery, delivery, and stakeholder management for complex regulated platforms.

I am currently focused on AI product management and automation. I have introduced Claude-based agent workflows that reduced market and regulatory research cycles from weeks to hours, while also creating practical AI guidance adopted by more than 100 colleagues.

My experience includes helping transform a registry-only platform into Brazil's second central securities depository. I have delivered products supporting securities settlement at multi-billion-real daily volumes and launched a regulator-approved secondary-market platform for bank CDs.

I combine product leadership with strong technical fluency in event-driven architecture, microservices, Kafka, Cassandra, APIs, AWS, SQL, and FIX-inspired trading workflows. I work closely with engineering teams to define data contracts, business rules, access models, and scalable MVPs.

I have led product teams through growth, training, performance management, and squad restructuring. I am comfortable owning end-to-end product design, including prototyping, design tokens, roadmap prioritization, and go-to-market decisions.

Earlier in my career, I worked in quality assurance in the automotive industry, where I developed analytical, supplier-management, and production-quality skills. I bring this operational rigor to product management in high-stakes financial environments.

Career history

Senior Product Manager CSD BR

Built AI agent workflows using Claude and Claude Code for market research, regulation analysis, and business-rule discovery, reducing research cycles from two to three weeks to approximately two hours. Automated Jira ticket and GitLab issue creation through AI agents and documentation-backed workflows, reducing ticket-writing time from days to 20 minutes. Authored an AI best-practices guide adopted by more than 100 colleagues.

Launched Balcão+, a Central Bank-approved secondary-market platform for bank CDs, opening R$203 billion to trading. Reduced delivery scope from a projected two-year-plus build to an eight-month MVP, designed FIX-inspired order models and participant workflows, and owned product design through Lovable and Figma prototypes. Also delivered stock-deposit capabilities in six months with a five-person squad, including support for dividends, splits, and bonus issues.

Product Manager CSD BR

Led product delivery for the securities depository and real-estate credit (CCI) squad, taking the product from proof of concept to delivery as the organization grew. Managed a 15-person team for approximately six months, including training, performance evaluations, and individual development plans before the team was divided into three squads.

Helped transform CSD BR from a registry-only system into Brazil's second Central Securities Depository, supporting settlement averaging R$1.8 billion per day across five clients. Partnered on event-driven architecture using Kafka and Cassandra, defining operations, access rules, and data contracts, and delivered a Cassandra wrapper enabling a database-version upgrade without refactoring deprecated microservice queries.

Associate Product Manager CSD BR

Improved end-of-day report generation performance by 70% through work with Instaclustr consultants on Cassandra and Kafka optimization. Supported technical product initiatives involving database performance, event streaming, and production reliability.

Guided the migration from on-premises Equinix infrastructure to AWS as the sole member of the product team, maintaining 99.99% availability throughout 2021. Created more than 20 test scenarios for each of five products using Postman and Selenium, and used SQL for performance analysis and data validation.

QA Analyst Volkswagen do Brasil

Prevented at least two days of engine-line stoppage by negotiating corrective actions with three international suppliers regarding defective parts. Worked across suppliers and internal stakeholders to resolve quality issues before they affected production.

Approved weekly production releases by inspecting engine parts against blueprint tolerances and analyzing non-conformities in the laboratory. Developed practical quality-control, root-cause analysis, and operational decision-making experience.
