[ philosophy ]

Engineering principles

01

Coherence over cleverness

Systems should be predictable, not impressive.

02

Governance as enabler

Lightweight structures (RFCs, ADRs) that prevent chaos without bureaucracy.

03

DX as leverage

Remove friction and teams move faster with higher quality.

04

AI as engineering

Observability, evaluation, datasets, and metrics; not magic.

05

Documentation as source of truth

Canonical, versioned, discoverable.

06

Pragmatic depth

Deep enough to be correct, simple enough to be maintainable.

[ formation ]

Software Engineering — PUC-PR (2019–2024), specialized in Cloud Computing (AWS) & DevOps.

Analytical, visual, systems-oriented thinker. I value clarity, structure, and operational precision.
