Five countries. One practical way of building.

Engineering began as a discipline. Moving through Europe turned it into a way of making complex systems useful.

A foundation.
A wider frame.

I finished first in my engineering class at one of Brazil’s most competitive universities. A fully funded scholarship took me to a French grande école for a double-degree programme, where I earned the Diplôme d’Ingénieur.

Machines,
then a company.

I began my career at John Deere. The Netherlands and the UK followed; in Cambridge, I built my first company and moved into entrepreneurship to put technology to practical use.

Building for
health and work.

Today, from Germany, I build Belle Health and kiolo: one in women's health, the other bringing practical AI into professional work.

Belle and kioloare the beginning.

I am optimistic about what follows. As technology and AI become part of everyday work and life, I want to help make them useful, reliable and grounded in real needs—giving people more time, clearer decisions and greater control.
