Senior software engineer at Envato in Melbourne, working on search. I came to it through data engineering and research: distributed data platforms and clustering at scale on Spark and Hadoop at UFV, then a master's at UFMG on anomaly detection with ensembles.

Loadstone is an engineering assistant built on Rails and Claude. Slash-command skills pull context from Jira, GitHub, Slack and Confluence, and background investigations run through the Claude Code CLI so an agent can explore real repositories. Apache 2.0.
Four peer-reviewed papers on distributed analytics platforms, scalable text clustering, and anomaly-detection ensembles. The one I'm most proud of is Lemonade, a Spark-based analytics platform built in the EuBra-BIGSEA collaboration and demoed at VLDB 2018.
