Built and continue to evolve Freight Audit & Pay, OneRail’s platform for shipper and logistics provider invoicing and dispute management. The platform handles invoicing for millions of deliveries each month, with individual invoices containing hundreds of thousands of delivery records. Engaged full-time through Limestone Digital.

• Joined a two-engineer team that pioneered end-to-end application development with AI at OneRail. The pilot’s results helped inform the company’s decision to adopt AI as a core engineering tool across all teams.
• Drive product discovery and technical delivery with product stakeholders, technical leaders, and internal auditors. Facilitate requirements discussions, clarify business constraints, and propose improvements informed by direct feedback from internal and external users.
• Design and maintain distributed services in .NET 10 and Node.js, alongside a React frontend, integrating MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Snowflake. Develop asynchronous processing and background jobs for invoice population, data synchronization, cost updates, and approval workflows.

Lead AI-augmented engineering and productivity initiatives for 28 contractors assigned to OneRail, Limestone Digital’s largest client. Hold this part-time leadership role alongside my full-time engineering engagement at OneRail.

• Serve as a key resource for AI-augmented software engineering, helping engineers explore, evaluate, and apply AI-assisted approaches to everyday development challenges.
• Define adoption and productivity strategies grounded in conversations with contractors, addressing technical blockers, development practices, team collaboration, and client policies.
• Partner with Limestone’s COO and Project Manager in weekly reviews to assess productivity reports, prioritize improvements, and translate findings into changes to engineering workflows.

Developed web products and led engineering modernization at 90 Information Technology, improving the foundations, tooling, and development practices used by a team of 25+ developers.

• Designed and developed the company’s new web ERP, spanning multiple modules and hundreds of features. Built its application foundation and most shared components, working closely with product and UI/UX teams to implement a consistent, maintainable interface based on a Figma design system.
• Built a full-stack platform connecting more than 100 ERP clients with construction material suppliers, using .NET 9, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Docker. The project established the technical foundation for subsequent company products.
• Led company-wide adoption of a modern web stack, improving developer productivity and maintainability while reducing infrastructure costs.

Founded and led Rede Sky for seven years, combining hands-on software engineering with technical leadership and business operations. Grew the platform to more than 16 million registered accounts, 300,000 monthly active players, and a peak of 8,115 concurrent players. Rede Sky ranked as Brazil’s largest Minecraft server by online player count for four consecutive years.

• Architected and developed scalable Java systems supporting thousands of concurrent players across an extensive portfolio of custom game modes, with a focus on low latency and fault tolerance.
• Led development of a game mode built on distributed architecture, enabling more than 1,000 players to interact within a shared virtual environment.
• Built and maintained hundreds of custom plugins powering matchmaking, gameplay logic, anti-cheat systems, virtual economies, and real-time events.

At 14, I started Mineland Network with friends, turning our enthusiasm for Minecraft into a community that grew to more than 500 concurrent players across five custom game modes.

This was where I first learned Java and the fundamentals of programming, building features that people played every day. It was also my introduction to web development, running an online store selling VIP packages and virtual currency, and working with content creators to bring new players to the server.

Behind the scenes, I learned to use Linux through the terminal and set up a dedicated server to host our games, website, databases, and supporting services. Working alongside friends, I got my first experience with everything involved in building, running, and promoting an online product.

Mineland was the first time I earned money from something I helped build. Seeing hundreds of people enjoy what we created together made a lasting impression on me and laid the foundation for my career in software engineering.
