Operations, product and AI
Field experience, product vision and technical execution.
About me
From real operations to digital products.
Technology has always been close to me: computers, games and curiosity about systems came early.
I studied Civil Engineering, graduated in Gastronomy and grew in professional kitchens in the US, leading teams and operations under pressure.
As an executive chef, I led large teams, opened operations and organized high-volume routines. Today that guides my software: simple, clear and useful.
In my transition to technology, I started with courses, small websites and personal projects. AI is an accelerator, not a shortcut.

Practical leadership
Large teams, intense routines and premium operations.
Projects
