Technical founder who has built two companies from zero: a data consultancy for Brazilian SMEs and a data-driven berry farm that tracks every plant.

I want to bring a builder's speed and a founder's judgment to AI safety research.


Experience

Inatu Current

2025 – present · Brasília, Brazil

Co-founder · Data-driven berry cultivation

Co-founded a berry farm in a crop that is still new to Brazil, using it as a live testbed for data and AI in agriculture.

  • Built a farm-wide data system that captures every irrigation pulse and the harvest of each individual plant, creating plant-level datasets that guide irrigation and harvest decisions.
  • Lead a 5-person team end to end, from agronomy to software, and own the technical roadmap.

Terra Lab

2023 – 2025 · Brasília, Brazil

Co-founder · Data analytics for Brazilian SMEs

Brought data analytics to small businesses with no structured data, often not even saved sales records.

  • Served 12 clients in 18 months, turning unstructured information into organized datasets and giving owners a clear, data-backed direction for their business.
  • Closed the company after recognizing the work had become bespoke consulting rather than a scalable product; carried those product lessons into Inatu.

Banco do Brasil

2021 – 2023 · Brasília, Brazil

Intern · Digital Experience & Design

Joined the team redesigning the website of Brazil's oldest bank, one of Latin America's largest financial institutions, designing new pages and user journeys.

  • Learned to read digital-experience data and translate user metrics into design decisions.

Leadership

Agro IDP

2023 – 2024 · Brasília, Brazil

Co-founder & President

Co-founded and led a student organization that opens agribusiness, one of Brazil's fastest-growing sectors, to young people, reaching 200+ students through talks with industry leaders.

  • Launched research study groups whose work has been published in JOTA, one of Brazil's leading legal and policy news outlets.
  • Created a junior consulting firm serving agribusiness clients, from rural producers to logistics companies, and secured Syngenta and Corteva as partners.
  • Built it to outlast me: the organization remains active and keeps growing after my departure.

Interests

Agriculture is my lifelong passion and now my field lab for AI.

I live by inquietude, the Portuguese word for a restless need to question, learn and build, and I believe in betting on the jockey, not the horse.

Based in Brasília. Open to data, software and product roles in Brazil and abroad.
