Doing stuff with purpose.

Having small victories and celebrating it: work hard, party harder - but with balance and responsability ;D

I'm really connected in many different networks, mainly in Brazil: entrepreneurship, social businesses, technology and universities.

I just came back from one year studying Engineering abroad at UNSW, in Sydney. I also spent, during that year, around 3 months around Asia traveling, getting to know the local culture and surfing.
