Principal Cloud Architect · AI Systems Engineer

I build what others can't.
I fix what they broke.

For 14 years, I've engineered mission-critical systems that outperform multi-million-dollar corporate vendor software. Now, I architect scalable AWS infrastructure and deterministic multi-agent AI workflows for enterprises that need things to actually work.

The Baseline

From Grid-Scale Infrastructure to Deterministic AI.

8 years as a Senior Electrical Engineer at ONS — Brazil's grid operator, powering 200+ million people. I don't tolerate inefficient architecture. I delivered a serverless load management platform in 4 months that still outperforms its R$ 6M corporate replacement. I built an async API that IT adopted to replace the vendor's standard tooling. I took a 15,000-line Fortran monolith and refactored it into the official modular open-source model. If it doesn't scale, I rewrite it.

In 2022, I started architecting AgendaCheia — a massive SaaS marketplace. Working 03:10 AM deep-work shifts, the codebase scaled to a staggering 14 million lines of TypeScript. At that scale, every bug is a critical failure. The cognitive load exceeded human limits. The standard AI tools were useless toys. I realized a fundamental truth: AI hallucination is an architecture and context problem, not a model problem. I designed SpecForge — an MCP-native AI orchestrator running 50 parallel agents with 5-level review gates. Today, I don't just write code; I orchestrate deterministic software factories.

Deployed Architecture.

I don't build disposable MVPs. Every system here was engineered to solve a critical scale or automation bottleneck.

ONS — National Grid Systems

2017 — Present

Mission-critical ML and data engineering pipelines serving the operational backbone of Brazil's continental-scale power grid. Built entirely outside of my job description to replace failing legacy software.

PrevCargaDESSEM
Refactored a 15k-line Fortran monolith into a modular, parallelized Python forecasting engine. Now open source on GitHub.
Serverless Load Management
Architected and deployed in 4 months. Outperforms a multi-million-dollar corporate replacement.
Asynchronous Data API
Custom async API for supervisory data. Officially adopted by IT, overriding the multi-national vendor's standard tools.
High-Concurrency ML Pipelines
Engineered AWS Batch/Docker pipelines processing meteorological data across 8,000+ grid points, eliminating hours of manual overhead daily.

Telemetry

System History.

2012

Initialization

First lines written in Fortran and VBA. Started automating engineering calculations because manual work is a failure of imagination.

2017

Grid-Scale Operations

Joined ONS. Immediately recognized the inefficiency in multi-million-dollar vendor tools and began architecting custom data pipelines that actually scaled.

2022

The Cloud Transition

Refactored legacy monoliths into AWS serverless architecture. Mastered the TypeScript ecosystem to begin the architecture of AgendaCheia.

2024

The Crucible

Gramado Summit launch aborted due to a family medical emergency. Four months offline. The capital was burned, but the architectural blueprints remained intact. Rebuilt momentum with zero tolerance for wasted time.

2025

The AI Breakthrough (SpecForge)

AgendaCheia scaled to millions of lines of code. The human bottleneck was reached. Diagnosed standard LLMs as fundamentally flawed for software engineering due to context decay. Architected SpecForge: an MCP-native, 50-agent parallel orchestrator. 400+ builds later, the 14M LoC problem is solved.

2026

Execution (Solutions Forge)

The countdown to July 2026 begins. The infrastructure is set.

Advisory

Initiate Protocol.

Building something that needs to survive contact with reality? Have an architecture bottleneck and no patience for consultants who've never shipped 10M+ LoC? Let's talk.
