Leadership & community.

✦

Interview overhaul

Co-led restructuring of the engineering interview process across frontend & backend roles. Recognized as the top interviewer for both culture and architecture panels.

↗

Mentorship that sticks

Mentored 5+ engineers — including an intern who converted to full-time (later hired by Meta) — and contributed to at least three promotions to Senior.

◇

RAPID decisions

Introduced the RAPID decision-making framework to cut decision churn, clarify ownership, and stop decisions being driven by the loudest voice.

◎

Founded the Subs Forum

Started a recurring cross-team sync that reduced siloed knowledge and improved consistency across engineering, QA, and product.

✺

In the community

Hackathon mentor for local high-school students, Girls Who Code volunteer, and internal C# bootcamp mentor for ~12 employees.

⇄

Two languages

Native English and fluent Brazilian Portuguese — comfortable collaborating across teams and borders.

Off the clock

Life outside the IDE.

Best ideas tend to show up on a trail, a river, or a half-pipe. When I'm not shipping, I'm probably somewhere outside.
