II Build.

Production artificial intelligence systems. Today, a multi-agent fiscal intelligence system runs in a Brazilian state. Co-founded Sentie.AI (AI applied to the public sector) and Idens (AI consulting-studio). Leading architecture and technical strategy.

III Think.

About what it means to build AI in a structurally hostile environment. About who controls the infrastructure and who doesn't. I read alignment papers, not just abstracts. I write monthly in Human Word. Studying AI & Digital Transformation at Oxford (Saïd).

IIIFoundation.

Before AI, fifteen years of strategic management. Consulting for Natura, Coca-Cola, Court of Justice of Ceará, state governments of DF, Alagoas and Ceará, Fundação Dom Cabral. Degrees in Economics and Graphic Design. Specialization from Copenhagen Business School.

IVOff-Screen.

Triathlon. The body as a data system. I read full papers, not summaries. I write letters. I identify as human, in an ecosystem dominated by AI hype.
