I’m a Physicist by training and a Software Engineer by trade.

I’m a software engineer at Pasteur Labs, where I build backend systems and infrastructure for running ML and simulation workloads at scale. My background is actually in physics: I did my undergrad and master’s at USP, an exchange at Helsinki, spent time at CERN. But I kept getting pulled toward the engineering side, building the systems that make the science possible rather than running the experiments themselves. So now I work across backend development, distributed systems, and infrastructure, mostly in Python and Go. Outside of work, I co-organize a Python community in São Carlos (Brazil).

My previous work experience and research positions:

  • Simulation Systems Engineer, Pasteur Labs, (Oct 2023 - Present)
  • Senior DevOps Engineer at Lavanet (Jan 2023 - Sep 2023).
  • Principal Infrastructure Engineer at Omnivector Solutions (Feb 2021 - Oct 2022).
  • Senior Python Engineer at Kobe (Jan 2021 - Jan 2022);
  • Python Developer at Itera (Aug 2019 - Dec 2020);
  • CERN researcher for Data Preservation and Open Access (Sep 2018 - Dec 2018);
  • Numerical Simulations for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (2013 - 2015);
  • Geometric and Image Processing for Body Evaluation (2011 - 2012);

My CV is available here as a PDF, online in LinkedIn, and always in your terminal:

I have a passion for photography and pretend to know something about it. I enjoy walking around cities, mountains, and forests to take pictures. Most of them are not published anywhere but some are in my Flickr account.

Feel free to get in touch :) I’ll try to answer you “shortly”:
