Capabilities
- Data Architecture and Governance
- For a company that receives different numbers for the same decision. We map the sources, fix the data flow and deliver verified information in the team's tools, with clear owners and access rules.
- AI Culture and Operations
- For companies using AI without seeing operational change. We map each area's actual work, develop the teams involved and implement agents where they fit, with limits, owners and metrics.
- Vibe Coding and AI-Based Products
- For teams building with AI that need to maintain and reuse what they build. We define a team standard and, where it fits, a product foundation, with human review, quality checks and cost tracking.

Experience
Founder and Data & AI Consultant
GiuSoCuritiba, Brazil (remote) to Present
I founded GiuSo, a data and AI consultancy: data architecture and governance, AI in the work of every area, and a standard for building products with AI.
- Map where each piece of data comes from and who answers for it, so the same number reaches every decision.
- Diagnose how each area works and put AI agents to run with limits, an owner and metrics.
- Define the standard for teams that build with AI, and a base that each new product reuses.
Head of Data & AI
Liquid AISão Paulo, Brazil (remote) to
I led the data and AI function at Liquid AI: governance of the data pipelines, the security and privacy framework around them, a company-wide AI-first culture, the intelligent agents that automate critical workflows, and the DDC Framework that governs how AI-assisted work gets delivered. The product context is the Brazilian real-estate market, with product-led growth, data-driven decisions and AI-led features.
- Directed the business and the product from the data, building the metrics and indicators the market runs on for the business, finance, sales, product and customer teams.
- Built the Medallion pipeline: a model validates structure and business rules on arrival, then drives Bronze, Silver and Gold with a human in the loop. Unstructured input from many sources, enrichment against data bureaus, and lineage from the client's file to the indicator it feeds.
- Mapped the company's obligations under LGPD and GDPR and structured the security and privacy framework on top of that mapping, so each control exists because a specific rule requires it.
Founder, Product & Technology Lead
Yala AI to
I conceived and shipped two products on Google Sheets on my own, from discovery through to delivery: I researched the market, designed the business model and the subscription plans, worked out cost and price, and only then launched. Yala orchestrates agents, memory and variables inside the cells. Mail Deliver sends e-mail from the same spreadsheet, with templates and open tracking in Analytics.
- Took both from hypothesis to a paid release on the Google Workspace Marketplace, directing agents instead of hiring a specialist for each layer.
- Designed the pricing and wired Stripe myself, which is the part of a solo product that decides whether it is a product or a demo.
Product Ops Manager
RiskNow.ai to
I led the portfolio-monitoring product and every deployment and maintenance operation around it, designing the rollout models, the Data Lake, Warehouse and Lakehouse architecture, and the continuous improvement of the ELT and support processes.
- Designed the Data Lake, Warehouse and Lakehouse architecture behind the product.
- Designed rollout models so a release lands in stages instead of on one date for everyone.
- Owned the process across every area the product touched: commercial, administrative, financial, legal, customer relationship, and discovery through delivery, run with Scrum, Kanban and GTD.
