About Tiago
I’m an AI Engineer and software consultant in Toronto. I build software, AI-assisted workflows, and internal tooling with a focus on clarity, reliability, and momentum. My current work explores how teams can apply AI safely and practically across delivery, security, and operations.
I work across Ruby on Rails, Spring, Node.js, React, React Native, and PostgreSQL. I use tools such as Codex, Claude, Cursor, and local LLMs to support research, implementation, refactoring, and debugging. I’m especially interested in spec-driven development, evaluations, AI agents, and agentic tools that can operate safely within clear technical and human boundaries.
On the delivery side, I work with Git, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, and Unix-based environments. I care about the systems around AI and agentic tools too: cost and usage visibility, safe integrations, evidence-based security workflows, and clear human approval for consequential changes.
