What's the most annoying thing in your company that we can automate?

I help companies ship two kinds of systems that actually work in production: AI workflows (Claude Code, Codex, agent orchestration, automations) and blockchain engineering (Solana smart contracts, EVM, DeFi integrations, audits). 17+ years building real systems at scale.

What you'll get: an honest assessment of your AI workflow maturity, 2–3 specific automations worth pursuing, and a straight answer on whether I'm the right fit. No pitch.

Areas I work in

Track 1

AI & agent workflows

  • Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode in production
  • Multi-agent orchestration & coding workflows
  • Automating engineering, sales, support, ops
  • Custom agent skills, slash commands & internal AI tooling
  • Model selection, cost & latency trade-offs

Track 2

Solana · EVM · DeFi

  • Solana smart contracts (Rust, Anchor)
  • EVM contracts (Solidity, Foundry, Hardhat)
  • DeFi protocol architecture & integrations
  • Security reviews & testing (unit, fuzz, integration)
  • On-chain / off-chain indexing & SDKs

Who I work with

  • Engineering teams adopting Claude Code, Codex, and other coding agents — getting from "we played with it" to a daily, trusted workflow.
  • Startups and founders building AI-powered or DeFi products and MVPs — picking the right model, architecture, and what to ignore.
  • Established companies automating sales, marketing, support, and internal ops — leveraging 6 years running Bulldesk (acquired 2021) at 80M+ requests/mo.
  • Web3 / DeFi teams shipping new protocols, integrations, audits, or adding AI to trading and monitoring systems.

How I help

Strategy & advisory

Hourly or short retainer

Discovery calls, AI or protocol audits, technical roadmaps, build-vs-buy decisions, model/stack selection, cost analysis. Best for teams that need a senior second opinion before committing.

Hands-on implementation

Project-based

I build the system end-to-end — agent skills, workflows & automations, internal AI tooling, or Solana/EVM smart contracts, SDKs, and integrations. I write the code, ship it, document it.

Fractional senior engineer

Ongoing, part-time

Embed with one company a few days a week. Own the AI or protocol roadmap, mentor the team, ship features. For companies that need senior capacity without a full-time hire.

Smart contract audits

Fixed-scope review

Security-focused review of Solana (Rust, Anchor) and EVM (Solidity) programs — common attack vectors, access control, arithmetic, and integration risks. Findings report with severity ratings and concrete fixes, plus unit/fuzz tests where useful.

Why work with me

  • 17+ years building production software — not an AI tourist.
  • Founder track record — built and sold Bulldesk (Marketing Automation SaaS, 80M+ req/mo, 500M+ background jobs/mo).
  • Currently architecting Solana DeFi at Lulo (+$100M TVL).
  • Daily AI practitioner — I orchestrate Claude, Codex, and OpenCode in my own workflow (orch) and built this site with AI assistance.
  • Finance background (BBA) — I understand business outcomes, not just code.

How a typical engagement starts

  1. Book a 30-min intro call (free, Google Meet). We discuss your problem.
  2. Proposal within 48h — scope, timeline, price. No surprises.
  3. Start within 1–2 weeks, with weekly written updates.

What I don't do

  • One-off "ChatGPT integration" projects with no clear outcome.
  • Pure prompt-tweaking work — I'm an engineer, not a prompt copywriter.
  • Hype-driven AI experiments without a path to production.
  • Work I don't believe in. I'll tell you if I think you don't need me.

FAQ

Where are you based? Do you work remote?

Santa Catarina, Brazil (UTC-3). 100% remote. I overlap comfortably with US, EU, and LATAM business hours.

What languages do you work in?

English and Portuguese, fluent in both for written and spoken work.

What does it cost?

Engagements typically start at a 1-week paid discovery sprint, with hourly or fixed-fee options after that. We'll discuss specifics on the call.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Standard mutual NDA is fine before any technical discussion.

Who owns the IP?

You do. All code, prompts, and configs I write for your engagement are yours.

Can you embed with our team full-time?

Not currently — I'm focused on a primary role at Lulo. I'm available for fractional / part-time work and project-based engagements.

What stacks do you work with?

AI: Anthropic (Claude / Claude Code), OpenAI (Codex / GPT), open-source agents (OpenCode), Python, TypeScript.
Blockchain: Solana (Rust, Anchor), EVM (Solidity, Foundry, Hardhat), TypeScript SDKs.
I'm tool-agnostic and pick what fits the problem.
