About

I’m a Brazilian engineer with a lifelong curiosity for systems and how they break work.

I’ve been working professionally with computers since 2001, but my first serious encounter with them happened back in 1994 (still in the DOS/Win3.11 days). I installed Red Hat Linux 4.0 in 1997 and have been working with open source ever since, digging through the internals of operating systems and any software I’m working with.

My career has been shaped by a fascination with infrastructure – how it’s built, how it fails, and how to make it resilient. That curiosity has taken me through roles like System Administrator, DevOps Engineer, Platform Engineer, and Site Reliability Engineer. Today, I work as a Staff SRE at a major consumer tech company, focused on performance, reliability, and distributed systems.

I like technical puzzles with sharp edges: subtle bugs, slow queries, failing nodes, disappearing packets. I enjoy understanding systems deeply, building better tools, and making operational pain less… painful.

When I’m not tracing syscalls or reading source code, I’m probably losing in playing tennis, spending time with my wife and our cats, or trying to fix something in the real world (with mixed results).
