I am a hybrid product architect, systems engineer, and anthropologist based in BrasΓlia, Brazil.
Throughout my decade-long trajectory, I have designed and deployed high-performance technological systems that turn complex, unstructured human and territorial realities β traditional community territorial claims, high-level governmental deliberative assemblies, and qualitative ethnographies β into actionable, verifiable, and sovereign digital assets.
This repository hosts my comprehensive curriculum vitae organized across 10 dedicated profiles (including specialized technical tracks, data leadership, and an on-site IT/business continuity coringa profile for local enterprises), fully synchronized and version-controlled in both:

"SumΓ¦nimΓ‘ is born from the union of Γnima (the vital breath, restless strategy, and creative spark) and SumΓ© (the civilizing mythical creator who masters technique, structure, and order from chaos). We are the bridge: soul with method, technique with soul."
SumænimÑ operates as an independent technological venture, sovereign data processing bureau, and autonomous software laboratory. Rather than delegating critical intelligence to extractive corporate clouds, SumænimÑ delivers end-to-end data sovereignty through native Rust systems, local neural inference, and strict multi-layer quality control.

My career looks non-linear only until you recognize the recurring pattern: Throughout my journey, I have used technology to bridge worlds that rarely speak to one another.
I began in 2017 as an intern and field researcher at the ISPN (Society, Population, and Nature Institute). Deep in the Brazilian Cerrado, conducting ethnographic fieldwork with traditional riverside and quilombola populations, I confronted a staggering reality: official government maps accounted for only 28% of traditional territories. The remaining 72% simply did not exist in the eyes of the state β rendering these communities invisible to basic sanitation, healthcare, and territorial defense.
What I learned in the dust and water β that data is not merely numbers, but living memory, territory, and struggle β led me to co-architect the TΓ΄ no Mapa Platform. By placing intuitive spatial mapping tools directly into the hands of indigenous and traditional youth, we helped register over 2,500 communities, creating an official database now integrated directly into the Federal Public Prosecutor's Office (MPF).
At IPAM (Amazon Environmental Research Institute, 2022β2025), I evolved from communications analyst to digital strategist. I spearheaded institutional growth that delivered +143% digital engagement, reached over 2 million people, served as Scrum Master for cross-functional teams, co-directed a science documentary on Amazonian climate extremes, and received a Mercosur Science Journalism Award. Yet, this intense period also brought clarity: managing conventional institutional public relations was not my calling. Burnout arrived hand-in-hand with conviction.
In 2024, I channeled every lesson learned into building SumΓ¦nimΓ‘ β the independent technological venture I had conceived years earlier. My core thesis was clear: Sensitive community and institutional data must never depend on foreign corporate AI clouds.
Since 2025, that vision has been tested at the highest echelons of public deliberation. As the official rapporteur for the National Council of Traditional Peoples and Communities (CNPCT), my platform StΓͺnioREC operated inside the PalΓ‘cio do Planalto, capturing, indexing, and purifying the historic proceedings that culminated in the Land Regularization Decree, inaugurated by Environment Minister Marina Silva.
To sustain this work independently, I constructed the Mnemocine Homelab: six networked nodes running open-source systems, orchestrated through Tailscale, Docker Swarm, and native Rust daemons, proving that sovereign local artificial intelligence is both feasible and superior.
Today, I stand as a hybrid: a product architect and systems engineer who thinks like an ethnographer. I translate ambiguous human needs into resilient distributed software, and complex systems architecture into lasting socio-environmental impact. Locally, I also bring that discipline back to the everyday: a general profile and a services sheet (pt-br/00-geral-ti-produto-br.md) for supporting stores and small businesses in BrasΓlia with on-site IT, networking, backups and LGPD.
