I grew up in Brazil, moved to Europe, and have spent 10+ years building cloud infrastructure for organizations that can't afford for it to fail — banks, airlines, media companies, and global enterprises.
Today I run UP2CLOUD, an independent B2B cloud consultancy. I embed with engineering teams across Europe and the Americas to architect, automate, and optimize multi-cloud platforms on GCP, AWS, and Azure — making delivery fast, spend visible, and operations boring in the best way.
