About Tiago
I build software, integrations, and internal tooling with a focus on clarity, reliability, and momentum. Over the years I’ve worked across backend systems, frontend applications, data workflows, and infrastructure, and I use this site to document both the technical side and the thinking behind it.
I work across Ruby on Rails, Spring, Node.js, React, and PostgreSQL, with a workflow increasingly shaped by AI-assisted development. Tools like Codex, Claude, Cursor, and local LLMs help me move faster on research, implementation, refactoring, and debugging, while keeping the focus on practical software design and maintainable systems.
On the infrastructure and delivery side, I work with Git, GitHub Actions, Docker, Kubernetes, Azure, and Unix-based environments. I’m especially interested in automation, internal tooling, and newer development workflows that combine strong engineering fundamentals with AI tools in a deliberate, maintainable way.
