About me

I'm a software engineer who likes storage and distributed systems: how data is stored, replicated and kept consistent. I mostly write C++. Right now I work at NetApp on StorageGRID, NetApp's object storage system.

Before that, I founded two SaaS startups:

• Bolsa Financeira: a platform for traders (acquired)
• Exclusive CRM: a vertical CRM built from scratch

I was also CTO at Avante, where I helped the company grow from seed to Series B.

After that, I took a break from startups to get back to what I really enjoy: digging into how systems work. So I went back to school, finished my Software Engineering degree, and started my Master's at the University of Waterloo.
