I’m living in São Paulo, Brazil.

I wrote a book to help software engineers working on product teams become more value-focused. It’s called High Output Software Engineering and it’s now published and available for purchase.

I’m 10 months into my sabbatical. I wrapped up the book project in the end of May and moved my focus to learning more about AI.

I’m currently taking the Cloud Architect Foundation courses and heavily using Hermes Agent, not just to get things done, but also to learn about what’s under the hood in AI harnesses.

These are my current priorities:

• Relationships/community (my girlfriend, my parents, my friends, connect with new like-minded people)
• Positive Impact (looking for a bigger project to fill this focus area. For now, I will be giving more love to this blog: posting some pent-up book notes, sharing more chapter of the book and maybe writing about my recent learnings with AI)
• 2026 Adventures (travel and nature. Planning a trip to Japan in October)
• Deep thinking (journaling and maintaining balance between information consumption and creation)
• Health (stretch/posture, lean physique, sleep, meditation)
