Education

Product Management
The CPO mentorship supported me in standardizing all the actions I had been performing in my role as CPTO, bringing greater methodology to the product discovery and development process. This enabled me to achieve significant results, such as a 10% reduction in churn and a 25%+ increase in revenue.

Computer/Information Technology Administration and Management
In my final undergraduate project (TCC), I created a product documentation management process, which I later had the opportunity to implement in my professional role as a Product Manager, reducing questions during the technology team’s implementation phase by 24%. Additionally, I gained a deeper understanding of monolithic and microservices system architectures, which enabled me to structure and lead the DevOps architecture function in my role as CPTO.

Information Technology
At university, my interest in software engineering grew, giving me a broader perspective of what comes before and after the source code. This allowed me to deepen my knowledge in areas such as requirements gathering, documentation, and quality. As a result, I carried out my first digital transformation, replacing manual processes with digital ones through a portal serving more than 100 users across Brazil at CAPEL.

Information Technology
It was my first exposure to programming logic, which confirmed my interest in the technology field. I developed my first basic academic systems (CRUD applications) in Visual Basic, which later supported me when I began my career as a Software Engineer.
