A Brazilian engineer building & writing from Vancouver.
I've been writing software since 2008 — from Java monoliths to distributed systems, from São Paulo to Vancouver.
I'm a Brazilian engineer living in Canada who believes the best way to learn is to build, and the best way to retain is to write. This site is where the two meet — study notes and hard-won lessons turned into articulated posts about software and the craft of building things.
What you learn today is gone tomorrow. So I write to make it last.
Build to learn
The fastest way to understand a system is to build a small, honest version of it. Most of my posts start as a crash test in a side project.
Write to retain
If I can't explain it on the page, I don't understand it yet. Writing is the compiler for my own thinking — and the archive that outlives the project.
Engineer for the long run
Clever is cheap; durable is hard. I optimize for code that can be read, tested, and kept — and for systems that survive their own failures.
Read the wire, not the brochure
New tools are easier to trust once you've seen the bytes. I strip frameworks down to the protocol underneath before I commit to them.
