From bank-wide platforms to medical SaaS.
Building systems that think.

About

Engineer who ships — now building with AI.

I started in money-laundering prevention at one of Latin America's largest banks, automating workflows that cut investigation time by 90%. From there I co-built bank-wide observability and event-collection platforms mandated across the entire engineering organization. Today I'm the freelance engineer behind MedicIntel, a medical SaaS where I architected the multi-tenant platform from zero — scheduling, EMR, finance, AI-assisted diagnostics, OCR, real-time legal consultation — and lead a small development squad. Now I'm channeling 7+ years of production engineering into AI: studying LLM engineering, RAG, fine-tuning (QLoRA), agentic architectures, MCP, deep learning, and ML pipelines — because the next systems I build will think.

Career Journey

Five roles. Two countries. One throughline — ship things people actually use.

From money-laundering prevention intern to architect of a medical SaaS — every step earned, none of them accidental.

2024 — PresentCurrent
Software Engineer (Freelance)
MedicIntel·Medical SaaS
Coquitlam, Canada
Architected and shipped a multi-tenant medical clinic platform from scratch as a freelance engineer, owning architecture end-to-end and leading a small development squad.
- Architected and built a multi-tenant medical clinic SaaS from scratch as sole engineer for 1+ year — patient scheduling, EMR, financial management, real-time legal consultation
- Designed an RBAC system across admin / doctor / receptionist roles in isolated clinic accounts, eliminating credential-sharing vulnerabilities common in competing platforms
- Built the OCR document pipeline on an asynchronous worker architecture (Docker, Redis), automating manual data entry across clinic workflows
- Implemented AI-assisted diagnostic features using LLMs via OpenRouter — designed guardrails and sensitive-data anonymization to ensure no patient-identifiable data reaches external models
- Built and maintained the full CI/CD pipeline (GitHub Actions) and managed AWS infrastructure (Lambda, S3, CloudFront, API Gateway, EC2, SQS, DLQ, IAM)
- Cut infrastructure costs significantly by migrating from AWS to Railway with zero service disruption
- Lead a 2-person development squad — code reviews, feature stories, and feature design in collaboration with stakeholders
- Adopted AI agents and MCP servers across the development lifecycle to accelerate feature design, implementation, and delivery

Software Engineer
Itaú International·Financial Institution
São Paulo, Brazil
Sole frontend engineer on a C#/ASP.NET monolith → microservices migration for the bank's investment orchestration platform.
- Sole frontend engineer on a C#/ASP.NET monolith-to-microservices migration for the bank's investment orchestration platform — buy/sell flows and daily closing values across partner banks
- Rebuilt the entire frontend from scratch in Angular with a UX team — 30% workflow-efficiency improvement and 80% user satisfaction
- Established frontend coding standards and architectural patterns adopted across the project team
- Received a financial performance bonus from management in recognition of delivery quality

Analyst
Santander Bank·Financial Institution
São Paulo, Brazil
Co-built a real-time health-monitoring API mandated bank-wide as the standard observability solution, then led its adoption and training across development teams.
- Co-built a real-time application health-monitoring API (Java, Logstash, Elasticsearch) with a 7-person team — per-endpoint metrics: response time, error rates, uptime, DB query latency
- Delivered Kibana / Grafana dashboards centralizing observability data, cutting mean troubleshooting time by 70%
- Platform was mandated by bank superintendents as the standard monitoring solution for all internal applications
- Led adoption of the platform across bank development teams, conducting onboarding and training on instrumentation, data visualization, and observability practices
