CEO & Founder @ Kod Imperi | CTO @ VANKKA & Fácil LGPD | 15+ years building real solutions

33-year-old programmer with 15+ years of hands-on experience, passionate about building solutions that actually work. I'm not about buzzwords or trends—I'm about solving real problems with clean code and pragmatic architecture.

Current Roles:

• 🏢 CEO & Founder at Kod Imperi (since 2024)
• 💼 CTO at VANKKA (since 2024)
• 🔐 CTO at Fácil Gestão LGPD (since 2020)

What drives me:

• Building MVPs that become production systems
• Automating tedious processes (RPA is my jam)
• Teaching others the no-BS way to code
• Creating tools for developers, by developers

const myStack = {
  languages: ['JavaScript', 'TypeScript', 'Python', 'Rust'],
  backend: ['Node.js (since 2014)', 'Express', 'NestJS'],
  frontend: ['Vue.js', 'React', 'Flutter'],
  databases: ['MongoDB', 'PostgreSQL', 'MySQL', 'Redis'],
  infrastructure: ['Docker', 'Kubernetes', 'Nginx', 'AWS'],
  automation: ['RPA', 'Puppeteer', 'Process automation'],
  ai: ['LLMs', 'RAG', 'Ollama', 'MCP integration']
}

• Linux server configuration (the manual way)
• Load balancers, clusters, proxies
• VPS setup from scratch (no handholding)
• Nginx configurations that actually work
• CI/CD pipelines that don't break

• 🤖 RPA Development - Automating the boring stuff
• 🧠 AI Integration - Building practical AI tools, not hype
• 📊 RAG Systems - KodVector (Rust-based vector database)
• 🎮 Game Development - Learning Unreal Engine 5
• 🎓 Teaching - Simplifying complex concepts

🥇 Resend MCP Hackathon Winner (2024)

💼 Business Growth

• Scaled Kod Imperi
• Manage team of talented developers
• Maintain 10+ production systems

I teach the practical way:

• ❌ No React complexity for beginners → ✅ Start with Vue.js
• ❌ No Vercel magic → ✅ Deploy on VPS with Nginx
• ❌ No Docker overkill → ✅ Understand the server first
• ❌ No tutorial hell → ✅ Break things and fix them

Why? Because developers who understand fundamentals can adapt to anything.

RAG platform built in Rust for developers. Fast, efficient, no bloat.

Building a 3D Pomodoro timer in Unreal Engine 5—because why not learn game dev while being productive?

Custom automation for Brazilian companies:

• Tax compliance automation (Robotax)
• GHG Protocol system (Vankka)
• LGPD compliance platform (Fácil LGPD)

I believe in:

• Execution over planning - Start ugly, improve fast
• Teaching by doing - Show, don't tell
• Pragmatism over perfection - Ship working code
• Mono no aware - Appreciating the impermanence of everything (yes, even in tech)

• 🎮 Unreal Engine 5 (building survival games)
• 🦀 Advanced Rust patterns
• 🧠 Fine-tuning LLMs for specific tasks
• 🎵 Generating music with AI (Suno)

• 🏢 Company: Kod Imperi

• 🎮 Completed Cyberpunk 2077 (saved Songbird, obviously)
• 🐱 Cat dad who relocates spiders instead of killing them
• ☕ Coffee-driven developer (and occasional mate drinker)
• 🎵 Codes listening to melancholic music (NF, Powfu, VMZ)
• 🏔️ Recently jumped off a pendulum in Urubici, SC
