Forward Deployed Engineer & Product Builder | GTM | Domain-Driven Design (DDD) | Built a bootstrapped payments platform to $60M+ GMV
I turn ambiguous problems into products that reach production.
I build at the intersection of product and engineering: understanding the problem, modelling the domain, designing the architecture, writing the spec and implementing what it takes to ship.
- 🧱 Co-founded Pepper and helped take it from its first checkout to BRL 300M+ processed across 17,000+ creators, bootstrapped.
- 🏗️ CTO at MakersHub, leading a full rebuild while the legacy keeps serving customers in production.
- 🤖 Shipping agentic systems in production: agents, subagents, structured outputs, spec-driven development.
