Professional Description
My professional life started by developing interactive media content using videogames technology at the Itaú Cultural in Brazil back in 2012. In there I had the opportunity and the privilege to witness the transforming potential of interactive technologies to complement educational content, to wake the curiosity in learning and, most importantly, bond different groups of individuals in the pursuit of knowledge.

Such powerful experience led me to start my own company called Biz Soluções Digitais (BizSD) in 2015 and pursuit the dream of creating meaningful and accessible experiences for everyone. In order to make this happen I’ve taken several administration courses, including the United Nation’s Empretec, which transformed my personal and professional life and helped lay a solid ground for my startup. The excellence of our work brought me to ZOAN in 2016 at first as a client and later as a workplace in Helsinki.

At ZOAN I’ve been as a Jack-of-all-trades during the company initial growth period, having coordinated and developed more than 100 XR related projects in less than a three years period and still counting! Currently as a CPO, I’ve been working in ways of improving the way we bring good XR experiences to the world.

Personal Description
I have a maker mindset, which keeps always pushing me forward to learn and try out different perspectives to understand and solve problems.

With an open-heart and a humble spirit I seek to always keeping learning and improving myself, after all, a better “we” starts with a better “me”.
