About

I build like a founder because I am one.

My work sits at the intersection of product judgment, technical depth, and a strong bias toward shipping systems that survive contact with reality.

Founder story

Builtthroughrepetition,notposturing.

The story is straightforward: ship, learn under pressure, raise the standard, and keep compounding.

2020

Started coding with a bias toward shipping

Moved quickly from fundamentals into real builds, learning by putting work under pressure instead of leaving it in tutorial mode.

2024

Founded ImpulsoLead

Focused on a market with urgency, signal, and room for better software: Brazilian real estate.

Now

Building with founder discipline

Balancing product ambition, engineering quality, and operational reality with a preference for systems that scale cleanly.

Operating principles

I care about clarity, leverage, and product choices that can still look intelligent six months later.

The right solution is rarely the flashiest one. I start with where time, trust, or decision quality is actually being lost.

Built for signal

Strong products earn attention twice: once visually, then again through execution.
