At 13, I founded one of Brazil"s most popular anime portals, attracting 50,000 daily visitors and 30,000 active forum users. That’s when I first realized the power of online communities. From a small forum, I built a thriving digital space where thousands of people could connect, share, and grow—purely through passion and collaboration. No ads. No paid marketing. Just the right vision and a commitment to build something meaningful. Over the next 15 years, I expanded that vision across industries like gaming, digital art, e-commerce, and software development. I led product and community management for global platforms, co-founded an immersive music project that toured Brazil and the U.S., and helped grow vibrant, engaging online ecosystems. Each experience brought one thing into focus: community is at the heart of everything. But to build something truly lasting, you need the right tools and a clear strategy. In 2023, I took on a new challenge: managing the global community at 80.lv, a platform for game developers and digital artists. There, I helped pioneer a 3D, gamified web experience powered by Unreal Engine, Unity, and WebGL. Through collaboration with cross-functional teams, I turned community insights into actionable strategies that drove both user growth and product innovation. Key Milestones: - Co-founded and led a house music/violin duo that performed 168 shows across Brazil and the U.S., featured in top electronic music magazines. - Managed product and community initiatives for global platforms like 80.lv and MyMYM, driving community growth and product innovation through the use of cutting-edge web technology. - Leveraged full-stack development skills in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, React, PostgreSQL, and more to build high-impact digital solutions. I’m passionate about building communities and digital products that connect people, elevate user experiences, and drive real impact. Whether it’s leading a project, developing innovative web applications, or fostering an engaged community, my goal is simple: to create lasting value.
