Experience

A.B. candidate · Computer Science & Government

A.B. candidate with a double concentration in Computer Science and Government, combining technical work in software engineering and data science with the study of political institutions and international relations.

My Government work focuses on Political Economy and Data Science, with research interests in war theory, autonomous weapons, elections and the effects of emerging technologies on democracy.

Cross-enrollment

Cross-enrolled at MIT in Fall 2026 for MIT 17.488: Simulating Global Dynamics and War. This coursework complements my Harvard studies (Government requirements) and my interests in political economy, war theory and the use of computational approaches to study international relations.

Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory · GCI World

Participant in GCI World 2026 at the Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory, an intensive three-month educational program in AI, data science and machine learning.

The curriculum covers Python, NumPy, Pandas and Matplotlib; supervised and unsupervised learning; feature engineering; SQL; time series analysis; and applied business data science.

Passaporte para o Futuro Scholarship recipient

Recipient of the Passaporte para o Futuro international college scholarship, selected in September 2023 for the program’s inaugural cohort. I was one of 20 students selected from more than 7,000 across São Paulo state.

Before college, I served as a SESI class representative for six years and graduated as valedictorian. At SESI, I was a scientific olympiad multimedalist, Best Delegate at Yale MUN (first Brazilian awarded in a General Assembly committee), Honorable Mention at Harvard MUN, Verbal Commendation at Cornell Model UN Conference, and was the first student to study abroad. That experience also connected my education with student leadership and community work in Mococa.

Student Tutor · Part-time · Hybrid

Provide individualized academic tutoring, helping students strengthen their problem-solving skills and build confidence in challenging subjects. Support each learner’s academic progress through one-to-one sessions focused on understanding course material and improving performance.

Web Development Teaching Assistant · Remote

Delivered more than 50 hours of individualized HTML, CSS and JavaScript instruction to four formerly incarcerated students through TEJI@MIT and Brave Behind Bars. My role combined one-to-one teaching with feedback on students’ web development work.

Collaborated with a team of 5+ teaching assistants and graded 8+ full-stack projects, supporting learners as they developed practical programming and web application skills.

Research Assistant · Harvard Weatherhead Center for International Affairs

Research assistant to Professor Mariana Alegre Escorza at the Harvard Weatherhead Center for International Affairs. Nodal explores how digital tools, platforms and governance models can sustain collective action and care among urban changemakers in Latin America.

My work centers on building the platform: full-stack development, deployment, database design, AI integration and data collection for a network cataloging 100+ urban leaders across 4+ countries. I also support user and market research and the development of a mission-aligned sustainability model, connecting software engineering with civic collaboration and spatial inequality.

Software Engineering Intern · Rio Claro, SP

Led the Innovation Team during my summer 2026 internship and architected Stavias Córtex, an offline-first construction operations platform. The system brings daily work reports, teams, messaging, financial operations and operational intelligence into a shared workflow.

Built across Java 21, Spring Boot, PostgreSQL, React, TypeScript, Vite and IndexedDB. Designed persistent outboxes, idempotent synchronization, conflict handling and auditable events so field teams could work through unreliable connectivity. I also developed the operational ontology and secure enterprise integrations, contributing across architecture, testing, CI/CD and deployment.

The work reduced approximately 10 hours of manual calculations per month across 3+ worksites, with a projected return exceeding BRL 100,000.

Startup · LALA Start Seed Capital Program

Co-founded Angico, a gov-tech startup addressing the lack of traceability in socio-environmental initiatives. The project aims to create shared territorial memory and turn scattered records into organized, sustained action.

Angico was selected for the first edition of LALA Start, the Latin American Leadership Academy’s seed-capital and mentorship program supported by Bloomberg.

Harvard College Student Ambassador

Selected as Harvard’s student ambassador for Ruvo, joining a small cohort representing the company across U.S. universities. I work on building its campus presence and connecting students with its mission to rethink how people move, hold and use money across borders.

The role includes community initiatives, mentorship and events that bring together students, founders, investors and operators across the United States and Brazil.

Engineering Emerging Leaders Series · Dallas, TX / hybrid

Selected for the Dallas Engineering Emerging Leaders Series, a competitive early-career program for second-year undergraduates. The hybrid program combined technical workshops, mentorship, networking and exposure to the firm’s engineering teams and recruitment process.

Developed a mutual-fund calculator focused on financial accuracy and scenario modeling, using 4+ APIs with real-time data and a Gemini-powered assistant. I also built a full-stack prototype with Python, Java, Node.js and Angular for compound-growth projections across eight major U.S. mutual funds.

Software Engineering Intern · São Paulo

Software engineering summer intern on the IT Finance, Clients & Accounting team at BTG Pactual, the largest investment bank in Latin America. My work focused on DevOps, data workflows and automation supporting financial verification and reporting.

Led automation work for CVM 179 verification using Python, AWS and Airflow, and supported the migration of the intake workflow. These projects reduced manual investment-processing work for the IT team while connecting regulatory requirements with practical data engineering.

Co-president

As co-president, led a board of 5+ members, reached 60+ Brazilian students on campus and oversaw more than $10,000 in funding. The work combines community events, student support and coordination with the broader Brazilian community at Harvard.

Previously served as First-Year Representative, managing communications, resources and integration activities for incoming students. Developed guides, group meetings and academic advising for a cohort of 14 students, helping them navigate their first year and build a sense of belonging.

Co-president · Mentorship Team
