Who I am & what I build

I'm a Frontend Engineer at Zapier and an Applied AI student at UFPR. I build fast, accessible web experiences and explore how AI changes what software can do. From YOLOv8 object detection to chat interfaces powered by LLMs, I'm obsessed with the intersection of clean engineering and intelligent systems.
