The developer
IT Systems Architect, Lead Developer and Cybersecurity Engineer. Blumenau, Brazil. Author of the AegisAI specification.
Architect & Developer of Aegis AI
More than two decades as a hands-on systems architect and lead developer across the private and public sectors, including six years of cybersecurity engineering at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre. AegisAI is built the way that work taught: deterministic detection first, local AI for explanation, and a design that refuses to claim protection it has not established.
Led the development and first successful production deployment of ERCA, the European Root Certification Authority of the EU digital tachograph system — a project of major significance that is still part of the EU’s IT infrastructure today, increasing safety on Europe’s roads.
Cybersecurity Engineer at the European Commission’s JRC in Ispra, Italy, from 2003 to 2009, working on EEJ-Net, PIPS, ERCA and MEDI.
Designed from scratch and led a proof of concept of a secure peer-to-peer network of trusted agents embedded in HSMs, for the exchange of sensitive information between EU governments.
AI-augmented full-stack systems, Windows internals and background services, low-level C and C++ automation, cryptography and HSMs, and multimodal AI document analysis — delivered to clients worldwide.
MSc Computer Science, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh (2002). BSc Computer Science, cum laude, The City College of New York (2000).
