Summary
Coder and entrepreneur with 19 years of experience. Founder of Catarse, the
biggest crowdfunding platform of Latin America.
I started coding when I was fifteen: first with Basic and later moved on to Delphi. In
2005 inspired by a talk of DHH, the creator of Rails, I started one of the first Ruby
on Rails agencies in Brazil with friends.
A few years later I became very passionate about crowdfunding, giving people the
possibility of funding their endeavours. So I founded Catarse, which went on to
become the biggest crowdfunding platform of Latin America. I also open sourced
Unlock, a distributed & recurring crowdfunding platform.
Most recently, I've been CTO of T
em Açúcar, the biggest social network for
neighbours in Latin America, where I led an incredible team and worked full time
with React Native for building our iOS + Android app.
I am now looking for a new challenge in the startup environment. The most
important aspects I am looking for are
- a great team
- a clear mission
Due to my current situation (my wife just got accepted into a postgrad degree here
in Brazil) I am looking for a company where I can work remotely or alternate
between times abroad and Brazil (e.g. every 3 months).
