It's never been easier to make things. As AI models improve week over week, we're (treated?) to a never-ending supply of mind-blowing examples of what it can do.

As a Senior Robotics Engineer with over 15 years of experience developing autonomous systems for the medical, aerospace, and defense sectors, I have led R&D and engineering at Malcom Medica, INPE, Safran, and ENGIE.My path was not conventional.It began selling ice cream in Brazil and eventually led to a PhD in France through years of persistence, technical curiosity, failures, a bit of luck, and hands-on problem solving.Over time, I realized that much of that luck came from developing disciplined decision-making habits by carefully observing failures and understanding how systems break under real-world constraints.Safety-critical engineering demands the same mindset: reliability is rarely the result of isolated technical decisions, but of rigorous verification, hardened tooling, and development processes designed to reduce failure systematically.Today, my work focuses on high-integrity perception systems, deterministic software behavior, and hardened development workflows for safety-critical applications.I am particularly interested in compiler diagnostics, static analysis, and modern tooling that help make reliable software easier to build and maintain.
