MY APPROACH
Relentless Curiosity
I go deep on complex topics — breaking them down, extracting what matters, and bringing it back as structured knowledge the team can act on.
Product Direction
I translate business goals into design decisions — connecting KPIs, constraints, and market context to what ships.
Systems Thinking
I approach every product as an interconnected system — so decisions hold up as the business scales and evolves.
Cross-functional Clarity
I read the room: turning alignment gaps and communication breakdowns into shared direction teams can act on.
Earned Simplicity
I use process as a tool, methodically reducing complexity until what's left is a solution that's fast to ship and easy to maintain.
Operational Awareness
I design with implementation in mind — working closely with engineering to anticipate complexity and avoid rework.

ABOUT
ABOUT
Background
Complexity is where I do my best work. I enjoy untangling complex product problems and helping teams find clarity. I care as much about understanding users as I do about helping teams build better products.
The best solutions usually come from good conversations, shared context, and giving a team the clarity to use its own intelligence.
Over the years, working across regulated industries has taught me how to navigate ambiguity, connect business goals with technical realities, and recognize that complexity often hides leverage. When you answer the right questions, products become more capable for the business and more meaningful for the people using them.
Outside of work, you'll probably find me wandering through parks, experimenting with recipes from Portugal, Greece, or across the Mediterranean, or reading philosophy and psychology. Fun fact: I spent ten years playing in a band that blended trip-hop with Brazilian music.
