About

I wrote my first program at nine and never found a reason to stop. I studied Computer Engineering at Poli-USP, built companies, and sold two of them: Vya to Liv Up in 2019 and RoutEasy to nstech in 2022. Through Invisible Technologies, where I'm a partner, I helped build the dataset behind the original ChatGPT's instruct model. The same year, I worked on Pinterest's logged-out pages, some of the most visited on the internet. Today I'm a partner at three AI companies, each in a different industry.

    Invisible Technologies

    As a partner at Invisible, I helped build the dataset for the instruct model behind the original ChatGPT. Mostly unglamorous work: data, done carefully, at scale.

  7. 072022

    Pinterest

    Worked on the logged-out pages, the ones you land on from a search. Among the most visited pages on the internet.

  8. 082015–2022

    RoutEasy, acquired by nstech

    Route optimisation and last-mile logistics. Started in 2015; by the time of the sale it served more than 300 clients, DHL, Shopee and Magalu among them. Joined nstech in December 2022. Seven years, the longest run so far.
