About

From São Paulo to the world. I've been working in open source since 2002, supporting organizations across Latin America for nearly two decades and, more recently, partnering with leading technology companies across Silicon Valley and the Silicon Hills, including NVIDIA, Meta, Uber, Airbnb, Qualcomm, Palo Alto Networks, Intuit, Zoom, Autodesk, Lam Research and more.

I'm a Solutions Architect at Red Hat, where I've spent 17+ years designing hybrid cloud, AI infrastructure and automation platforms, from kernel to cloud. Currently pursuing a Postgraduate in AI & ML at UT Austin / McCombs School of Business (2025–2026). I bridge engineering depth with business strategy.

Selected speaker at Red Hat Summit 2025 (Boston, ~7,000 attendees) and Red Hat Summit 2026 (Atlanta, ~8,000 attendees). Also presented at Red Hat Summit Connect Dallas 2025, Texas Linux Fest 2025, OpenStack Summit, and Latinoware. Author. CNCF contributor. Founder of Netheos AI Intelligence. Brazilian 🇧🇷 Italian 🇮🇹, Texas.
