Frontend systems architect

I design systems that make complex work easier to understand.

I'm a frontend systems architect with more than 10 years of experience working across product thinking, architecture, and implementation. Most of my work has involved operational software: data-rich interfaces, mapping platforms, workflow systems, and products that need to remain understandable as they grow.

More recently, I have been extending that practice into AI engineering. I'm interested in how retrieval, models, and tool interfaces can become reliable parts of a product without obscuring where its knowledge comes from or which parts of the system remain responsible for trust.

Core themes

Frontend systems architecture

Clear boundaries, reusable foundations, and interface structures that can evolve across products without hiding the decisions behind them.

Data-rich and geospatial products

Operational interfaces, maps, workflows, and data-heavy screens where clarity, performance, and reliable interaction matter.

AI systems and agent workflows

Evidence-grounded model workflows, retrieval, and Model Context Protocol interfaces with explicit limits and validation.

Engineering practice

Testing, documentation, design systems, and developer tooling that make complex software safer to change and easier to explain.

How I work

I like working close to the edge between product and engineering. I care about shaping the problem, not just implementing the screen.

I usually start by making the system visible: the users, the data, the workflows, the constraints, and the places where complexity leaks into the interface.

I keep responsibilities explicit, especially when models are involved. The useful question is not only what a system can generate, but what it can support, check, and explain.

Background

  • Brazil → Australia
  • More than 10 years building production software
  • Frontend developer → Frontend systems architect
  • Currently studying for an MSc in Artificial Intelligence

Current direction

  • Evidence-grounded AI systems
  • Model Context Protocol and tool interfaces
  • Retrieval, evaluation, and model guardrails
  • Agent-assisted engineering workflows

I build software for people who rely on it to do real work.

I'm interested in senior frontend and systems roles where strong product engineering meets data-rich or AI-enabled software. You can read my resume, or get in touch.
