“Great products need speed, polish, and soul. I refuse to pick only two.”
I'm a senior front-end engineer with a sharp eye for design and product. I believe great products are technically solid and visually refined. My passion for art is a big part of why.
Originally from Brazil, grew up gaming, drawing, and staying active. Outside of engineering, you'll find me on the soccer field, running, at the local jazz bar, or traveling and exploring new places.

Googly Eyes: Exploring Effects of Displaying Users' Eyes Outward on an HMD
Head-mounted displays in VR occlude the upper face of wearing users, reducing nonverbal communication cues toward outside users. We discuss Googly Eyes, a high-fidelity prototype that displays an illustration of the HMD-wearing user's eyes in real-time in front of the headset. Through a between-subjects user study comparing Googly Eyes against a baseline HMD experience, we explore the effects on non-HMD users in a collaborative asymmetric co-located task.
Visual Explorations
Pixel art, digital illustrations, drawings, and generative experiments. A lifelong practice that shapes how I build.
