Who I am

A spreadsheet-obsessed, just gullible enough, and here to make complexity simple.

For the last 7+ years, I've been analyzing, programming, and designing great solutions, working with high tech including Bosch, IBM, and Cisco Systems.

How I found my path

I never saw my career as a straight line. As a child, I was fascinated by mathematics, astronauts, and stories — memorizing an entire book, A Batata Fujona (the runaway potato, in portuguese), to retell to every visitor. That mix of logic, curiosity, and storytelling quietly shaped how I approach challenges today: analyzing systems, exploring possibilities, and making meaning clear.

In administration, I learned the power of structure. In systems analysis and support, I discovered the joy of solving people’s struggles, researching how they worked, and creating preventive solutions. As a front-end developer, I translated logic into reliable interfaces, learning that details and planning matter when they serve a larger flow.

In design, I finally found a language that unites function and feeling. It’s about noticing where people struggle, imagining what could be easier, and building bridges between complexity and clarity — the place where structure and meaning converge, and where I do my best work.

Where I am

I’m currently a UX researcher and designer at Cisco Systems, working on a B2B/SaaS platform that supports networking testing and development environments. Operating within a highly complex system, the core challenge is transforming highly technical engineering tasks into clear, efficient workflows that make the system more usable and scalable.

When I’m not pixel-pushing like it’s Tetris,

haha

Probably learning French as my fourth language, diving into dystopian books, racing in Mario Kart, exploring Canadian forests, spoiling my dogs, and taking ballet classes.
