Creative Technologist/Cape Cod ⇄ Brazil/Available for work
I composesystems.
Most engineers come from one world. I come from three — code, music, and the kitchen. A full-stack & blockchain developer and product manager who learns fast, ships under pressure, and builds software people actually want to use.
Take it apart.
Understand it.
Build it back better.
I've been taking things apart and putting them back together since I was a kid — curiosity is the engine. Twenty-five years in professional kitchens taught me to run a system under pressure: mise en place, then execute, then refine. It turns out software works exactly the same way.
So I taught myself to build. First tools to fix the problems I lived in the kitchen, then web apps for founders, then decentralized apps at hackathons from Harvard to Solana. Today I lead product and mentor English students in Brazil — building the tools my own classroom runs on. Still driven by the same thing: a love of learning and a need to make things people actually want to use.
The proof is in the projects.
My favorite builds sit where my worlds overlap — a school ecosystem built by its own teacher, kitchen software written by the chef who needed it, a music marketplace on-chain.
Mister Wiz Ecosystem
EdTech platform for an English school
As mentor and developer at Mister Wiz, I built the school's digital ecosystem: a report compiler that turns teacher CSVs into print-ready student report cards with skill radar charts, a teacher dashboard on Railway, and a gamified English quiz app — live and in use.
soundChain
Decentralized music marketplace
A marketplace for musicians to sell work and issue membership NFTs, with royalties enforced on-chain. Built where my two lives meet — music production and blockchain engineering.
ChefTrack + ChefCalc
Kitchen operations suite
Software I built as an Executive Chef to fix problems I lived every day: inventory that drifts, menu costs that guess. ChefTrack tracks stock; ChefCalc prices every plate to the gram. Cut waste and errors across a working kitchen.
theVault
Document ownership DApp
Upload a document, store it on decentralized storage, and prove ownership on-chain — no trusted middleman. NFT-based validation across Algorand and Stacks.
Tem Vaga
Scheduling app
A booking and availability app with a clean, fast interface — shipped and live on Vercel.
CNPJ Lookup
Full-stack business lookup
Real-time Brazilian company lookup with a Dockerized architecture and automated tests for performance and accessibility — the whole stack, end to end.
Royalty Manager
Smart contract
A smart contract that splits royalties across contributors automatically — the payout logic a fair collaboration needs.
Chef to product, by way of code.
A non-linear path, on purpose. Each stop taught the next one something.
