I was born in Campinas, São Paulo, in February 2006. Most of what I remember from growing up happened on a field or next to an instrument.
Sports took the afternoons — American football above everything else, which eventually turned into a U17 national title and two state ones. Music took the rest: guitar first, then acoustic, bass, piano and harmonica, mostly by refusing to put one down until it made sense.
I was the kid who took things apart to see how they worked, and then tried to put them back together a little better. Building, inventing, fixing — it was never a hobby. It was just how I spent my time.
Somewhere along the way people started telling me I was a few steps ahead. I didn't really see it like that. I just liked being good at things, and I liked the part where you get there even more.
I never thought of it as being ahead. I just couldn't leave a problem alone.
In 2022 I started studying computers, technology and programming. It didn't feel like learning something new. It felt like finally finding the right tool for something I had always done.
A year later I found business — startups, products, markets, the strange math of making something people actually want. That's when it clicked: I didn't want to choose between building and business. The interesting work happens where they meet.
Today I study Software Engineering at PUCPR, build AI agents and revenue operations at RevBlack, and run Nock as co-founder and CEO.
Different rooms, same habit: understand the problem, build the thing, ship it, make it better. Still the kid taking things apart — just with better tools.
