I'm a Principal Developer Relations Engineer at Dash0, where I help developers adopt OpenTelemetry and build practical observability workflows. I'm also one of the community managers for the OpenTelemetry project.

I started my career as a lawyer in Brazil, studied business at UC Berkeley, worked in marketing, and pivoted into tech in 2022. Honestly, the non-linear path turned out to be the feature, not a bug. Every step gave me something I use every day.

Since then I've been active in open source across the Kubernetes docs, OpenTelemetry docs, and CNCF glossary, and I now serve as a community manager for the OpenTelemetry project. I'm always learning. That's kind of the whole point.

• 🔭 Working on OpenTelemetry adoption and observability content at Dash0
• 🌱 Going deep on OpenTelemetry, distributed tracing, and observability. Learning in public whenever I can
• 🎤 Speaking at conferences worldwide (in four languages 😅)
• 🤝 Organizing Kubernetes Community Days NY, AWS Community Day New York, and CNCF Meetup NYC
• 💬 Ask me about getting into tech from a non-traditional background, open source contribution, or getting started with OpenTelemetry

⚡ Fun fact: I push myself out of my comfort zone pretty literally, including jumping out of airplanes. Tech felt like the same kind of leap. Still does, honestly.
