Senior AI Engineer
About Me
I am a Senior AI Engineer and Software Architect with more than 10 years of experience building and scaling high-performance platforms across artificial intelligence, distributed systems, video streaming, blockchain, and cloud infrastructure.
I specialize in production-grade AI systems, including RAG pipelines, private AI platforms, multi-agent architectures, and distributed inference engines. My work is guided by an engineering-first mindset, with a strong focus on scalability, reliability, cost efficiency, and practical deployment.
I have contributed to mission-critical platforms serving millions of users, including work on the largest Video CDN in South America at Globo. I have also led architecture and infrastructure initiatives in remote-first environments, helping teams improve observability, delivery velocity, and system resilience.
My background includes designing hybrid cloud and HPC solutions, optimizing AI workloads, and building systems that reduce infrastructure costs while improving throughput and performance. I enjoy solving complex technical problems that require both deep architectural thinking and hands-on implementation.
Over the years, I have worked across software engineering, DevOps, AI infrastructure, and backend architecture, using technologies such as Python, Go, TypeScript, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and vector databases. I have also built products from the ground up as a founder and principal engineer.
I am based in Brazil and open to remote opportunities. I speak Portuguese natively, am fluent in English, and have professional Spanish skills. I am looking for challenging roles where I can continue building advanced AI and distributed systems at scale.
