About

Senior software engineer from Florianópolis, Brazil. Ten years building backends and distributed systems, mostly in Node.js, TypeScript and Go — at Deel, Clint and now Atlas Health, where we build features for healthcare operations. On the side I ship products I wanted for myself. Fervu is a fitness app where every workout turns into points on a weekly scoreboard with your friends, and the Evolution tab tracks your own progress. Fractal Vino is a management and traceability system for Brazilian wineries and grape growers, from the vineyard to the bottle. I like products with a clear rule set, no ads and no dark patterns. Happy to talk about group dynamics in fitness, scoring systems, React Native, or how a small team ships with AI tools.

Should you be selling software you don't fully understand?

I m building a marketplace and AI tools without a programming background. Claude Code and Codex do the coding. I make the decisions, test the features, catch problems, and occasionally spend hours trying to understand why something that worked yesterday suddenly doesn t. And here s what I ve been thinking lately AI has made it possible for people like me to build things we couldn t have built alone. But there s a difference between being able to build something and being able to maintain it. What happens when your platform grows? When something breaks in production? When security or customer payments are involved? I m learning as I go, but I definitely don t understand every line of code behind my own platform. So I m genuinely curious: Do you think non-technical founders should learn to code while building with AI, or is knowing how to manage, test, and validate AI-generated code enough? I d especially love to hear from experienced developers AND non-technical founders. I have a feeling the answers will be very different.

When did you last say no to your AI agent?

After enough "can I run the tests?" prompts, "can I send this to your customer?" risks becoming another button to clear.

Five months ago I asked here how people keep track of their agents. The replies went well beyond coding. In a later discussion, a builder running customer support agents made a point that stuck: people stop reviewing when checking the draft takes longer than writing the reply themselves.

🏃 When was the last time you did some sport?

I just walked out of the gym, and I feel ready to move mountains! =D

For a while, I gave up exercising. And yesterday, the bell rang when my teammate asked the whole team: When was the last time you did some sport?
