Software Architect · Technology Strategist
I take ideas off paper and turn them into systems that work - software architecture, applied AI and whatever language the problem calls for.
I got into technology to build things from scratch and make people's lives easier. Law gave me the rest: an eye for rules, processes and what it takes to be trusted.

Designed a Microkernel architecture for external-integration adapters and built a Visual Studio template that scaffolds the full library structure. Tripled delivery speed for new adapters and became the team standard.
Trade-offAccepted more complexity in the core - an extensible kernel costs more to maintain - in exchange for linear adapter delivery. Worth it because integrations were the team's growth vector.
Py → .NET
Transfero · 2023 →
Rewrote a critical integration from Python to .NET 7. Performance gains, higher reliability, and alignment with the company's core stack - fewer incidents on critical financial operations.
Trade-offAccepted the cost of rewriting battle-tested code in exchange for consolidating the stack in a single language - smaller oncall surface, one CI/CD pipeline, unified observability.
↓ cost
Transfero · 2023 →
Built a centralized service that aggregates external pricing data and serves every internal application. Eliminated redundant calls, standardized the source of truth, and cut company-wide operational cost at scale.
Trade-offAccepted a single point of failure in exchange for consistency and cost. Covered with aggressive Redis caching, clear SLOs, and graceful degradation when the upstream goes down.
SDK
Transfero / BTG Pactual · 2022 →
Built an SDK and a Visual Studio template that scaffold the base project for payment adapters. Other teams now focus only on the integration itself - time per adapter fell from weeks to days, with quality consistent by design.
Trade-offSDKs demand semantic versioning discipline and an API surface that ages well. I took on that responsibility to remove cognitive load from consumer teams - they no longer need to know the plumbing.
Outside company work, I serve communities and associations as a volunteer - it's where technology makes people's lives easier most directly.
I
Volunteer·Communications ministry · Web + Mobile + API · 2024
A Catholic community I belong to, serving in the communications ministry. I built the platform as a volunteer: web, hybrid mobile app and custom backend. Daily liturgy, events, content editor and members area - technology in service of faith and community.
II
Volunteer·Vice-president of the association · Full-stack · 2024
A non-profit sports association where I serve as vice-president. I built the platform as a volunteer: serverless Next.js on Supabase, no custom backend - lean architecture so it costs the association almost nothing.

The thesis behind my work: treat systems like contracts - anticipating failure modes, eliminating ambiguity, and removing friction at the level that matters, not the cheapest one.
