Building a deep tech/AI infra startup

I enjoy being challenged alongside a team of talented, motivated people. I believe we must always bear in mind that processes, methodologies, and all major decisions in the SDLC should reflect the end goal of creating a high quality, high value product that the user will love. I believe that if you treat your employees right they'll work their butts off for you, and happy employees lead to happy customers. I believe that quality should be viewed holistically and measured by the user's experience. The incoming specs, the documentation, and everything in between affect quality. Specialties: Test automation framework architecture and development, QA leadership, scrum agile, process definition, data organization, multitasking and communication, inter- and intra-team relationship building Languages / Technologies: Python, Ruby, Java, C Selenium, Watir, API automation, iOS & Android automation with Appium, load testing, source control Specific apps: JIRA (I really like JIRA but don't hate me for it), Git, JMeter, Neustar, Splunk, Jenkins, Postman, TestRail, QMetry, svn, etc.

Philosophy: Environmental consciousness must transcend. More than a romantic notion, be a guiding source of knowledge for human intelligence and development. 🔄 Learn> Design> Implement> Repeat 👌

I’m a seasoned Product leader returning to mission-driven work after years scaling consumer products in FinTech. Earlier in my career, I helped build and lead some of the largest progressive digital campaigns in the U.S. and globally. Now, I’m bringing that purpose back into focus. Over the last decade, I’ve led high-performing Product teams and also contributed directly as an IC. I’ve owned product vision, launched zero-to-one initiatives, and optimized mature products. My work has driven tens of millions of sign-ups, improved retention and engagement, and shipped complex features across design, engineering, legal, and marketing. I’ve also worked hands-on with AI and machine learning – prototyping with OpenAI tools, designing user-facing features powered by LLMs, and evaluating real-world applications across consumer and campaign use cases. I bring a bias for action, a collaborative mindset, and strong execution. I believe the best products are grounded in data, shaped by user insight, and measured by real-world outcomes. Now I want to apply those skills to problems that matter – equity, justice, access, and opportunity. If you're working in that space, let’s talk.

I work at the intersection of language and user experience: localization, transcreation, UX writing, and microcopy. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across a wide range of formats and content types: translation, editing, validation, subtitling, copywriting, proofreading, and linguistic quality management. More recently, I’ve been focusing on linguistic quality control and localization strategy, always with one clear goal in mind: creating inclusive experiences that truly resonate with Brazilian audiences. My writing is designed to be fluent, coherent, clear, and simple — reducing cognitive load and building brand credibility. I’m also deeply curious (and genuinely excited) about the possibilities artificial intelligence brings to our field. I see AI as a fascinating tool for brainstorming and creative exploration, one that helps me test different interpretations and styles, and expand ideas beyond time constraints. I'm looking to collaborate with brands and teams that share values like inclusion, diversity, and equity — and that see language as a strategic tool for connection and transformation.
