// about me
I'm Matheus — a full stack developer from Brazil with a unique background blending Physics, Computer Science, and a deep love for building things that matter.
My journey started watching my father code. That curiosity grew into a career of creating web applications, mobile apps, APIs, and now AI-powered solutions for clients worldwide.

// core values
The principles and values that guide every line of code I write and every project I deliver.
I write code that reads like well-structured prose. Maintainable, testable, and built to last — because future-you deserves it.
Every millisecond counts. I optimize for speed at every layer — from database queries to frontend rendering and CDN delivery.
I don't just build what you ask — I help you discover what you actually need. Transparent communication and shared ownership.
My Physics background trained me to break complex problems into first principles. I approach architecture the same way.
Technology evolves fast. I stay ahead by constantly experimenting with new frameworks, AI tools, and best practices.
Security isn't an afterthought. From input validation to authentication flows, I build with protection at every layer.
Key milestones from 1996 to today
I was born in Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais, Brazil — a charming city where family, music, and curiosity shaped my earliest years. Those first experiences inspired a lifelong love of learning and technology that still guides my work today.
I began studying English at Spectrum Line. This opened doors to international culture and technical resources, laying the groundwork for future studies, global collaboration, and a more connected view of the world.
I spent six months as an exchange student in Cassville, Wisconsin. Immersion in a new environment taught resilience and adaptability, strengthened communication across cultures, and encouraged me to explore new ideas with confidence.
I graduated from Anglo PA. Beyond academics, I built strong friendships and discovered a passion for engineering and problem‑solving that would guide my next steps and later shape my approach to building software.
I started a Computer Science degree at UDESC, exploring algorithms, software design, and systems thinking. This period deepened my technical foundation and my love for designing systems that are robust, clear, and maintainable.
I moved to Itajubá to study Physics at UNIFEI, combining analytical rigor with practical experimentation. The blend of theory and creation continues to shape how I approach technology and solve complex, real‑world problems.
I started building enterprise software from scratch — a complete homecare management system with inventory control, patient tracking, medication management, and a mobile app for field staff. Reduced medication loss by 98% and fully digitized manual processes that are still operational today.
After graduating from UNIFEI, I built a comprehensive occupational health and safety platform — e‑Social integration, medical exam management, risk programs, PPE tracking, and compliance dashboards. Used by multiple companies across Brazil. Also shipped an online course platform and e‑commerce for safety training.
I dove deep into applied AI — building WhatsApp chatbots, automated customer service, and AI-powered sales tools for businesses. Shipped e‑commerce platforms, a real‑time auction app for a football club event, and started building my personal finance app with AI‑driven market analysis and automated trading.
Built my own productivity platform — project management with kanban boards, full Google Calendar sync, notes, file organization, and goal tracking. A personal tool I use daily to manage both work and life, designed exactly how I need it.
Building A.T.L.A.S. (Adaptive Technical Liaison & Assistant System) — a personal AI that connects all my platforms: calendar, tasks, email, code repos, and communication tools. It powers the chat on this website and automates workflows across everything I do. A project that keeps evolving every day.

// beyond the code
Software is my craft, but life has many more dimensions. Here's what fuels my creativity and keeps me balanced outside of work.
A lifelong passion — I play daily on chess.com across bullet (1500), blitz (1700), and rapid (1800). Strategy, pattern recognition, and staying calm under pressure translate directly into how I approach software architecture.
Soccer runs in my Brazilian blood, but I also follow F1 with the same intensity — the engineering precision and split-second decisions resonate with me. American Football completes the trio with its strategic depth.
From technical deep dives and system design to philosophy and sci-fi — reading keeps me curious and sharp. Every great developer is a great learner first.
Beyond client work, I love exploring new technologies, building side projects, and pushing the limits of what's possible with code. If it can be automated or improved, I'm on it.
I'm building a chess engine calibrated to my real chess.com ratings. Play against my bot in bullet, blitz, or rapid — or challenge the real me online!
// ready to collaborate?
I'm always open to discussing new projects, creative ideas, or opportunities to be part of something great.
