Software engineer. I work on AI products and have opinions about them.
Currently at Silktide. TypeScript at work, C# at heart.
Read the blog →About me
I've been writing software professionally since 2013. Started at a small company in Brazil doing C#, eventually moved to the US and worked at 343 Industries on the Halo Infinite backend, then spent about two and a half years at Microsoft on the Azure Portal team. I owned the Disks blade, which gets something like 100k hits a week.
Now I'm at Silktide doing backend work on their AI marketing tools and accessibility platform. Day to day it's a lot of TypeScript, talking to LLMs, and figuring out why the model gave a confident wrong answer again.
I've worked across most of the stack at this point. React, .NET, Kafka, Docker, AWS, Azure, Kubernetes. I don't really have a strong preference anymore, I just like building things that work.
Outside of work I play guitar (badly), DM a D&D campaign, mess around with 3D printing, and play too many games on my Steam Deck. I have two dogs, two cats, and a flock of quails in the backyard. They're louder than you'd think.
Cooking with Robots
cookingwithrobots.com
A recipe and meal planning app I've been building. It has around 160 recipes with allergy filtering, a hands-free cooking mode (so you don't have to touch your phone with raw chicken hands), and an AI assistant called "Grandma Bot" that can look at what's in your pantry and plan your week.
