About
Building software with AI speed and a Product mindset.
I am an AI-Native Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of product vision and technical execution. With over 20 years of experience in technology, I have evolved from core infrastructure to the bleeding edge of modern software development. Today, I specialize in architecting scalable backends, integrating top-tier LLMs (Anthropic Claude, OpenAI) into enterprise workflows, and shipping full-stack products at an unprecedented pace using AI-assisted workflows.
Whether it's building a fast-paced AI prototype, launching a DevTool on Product Hunt, or structuring a complex database architecture for IoT systems, I bring a founder's mentality to engineering: identify the bottleneck, build the right tool, and iterate fast.
Experience
Founder & Lead Full-Stack Engineer
- Designed, built, and launched two DevTools on Product Hunt: smoonb.com — a Node.js CLI (distributed via npm) for operational Supabase backups — and imgcmd.com — a secure CLI for AI image generation directly to disk, using AI-assisted workflows (Cursor, LLMs, Python, Next.js).
- Architected and deployed Agroloop, a private LTE (4G) network and Edge Computing infrastructure spanning 3,300 hectares, purpose-built for real-time IoT telemetry ingestion from heavy agricultural machinery.
- Operate with a scalable engineering team using AI-native workflows — Cursor, Claude, and OpenAI — to design, prototype, and ship full-stack products at speed.

Technical Product Manager
- Led the technical architecture of Latin America's first industrial 5G private network in the port sector (BTP — Brasil Terminal Portuário), delivering mission-critical connectivity with sub-10ms latency for real-time IoT integration across port operations.
- Designed a low-latency Edge Computing layer to support autonomous vehicle coordination and heavy equipment telemetry, operating within a highly regulated environment with strict SLA and uptime requirements.
- Drove cross-functional alignment across network engineering, regulatory, security, and operations teams to bring a greenfield enterprise network from architecture design to live deployment.
