AI Hero by Matt Pocock

Course covering a broad spectrum of AI engineering patterns — agents, evals, RAG and tool use — in TypeScript.

University of São Paulo — BSc Computer Science

Held a CNPq Scientific Initiation scholarship for one year, leading to the publication of the research "Event Simulator for Spacial Systems".

Agentic Lead — numa (formerly COSI)

Leading numa's move to AI-assisted engineering. I designed our agentic SDLC, the process every team now uses to ship a change, with agents doing most of the work at each step and engineers making the decisions.

• Plan, spec, split, build: agents take a problem through a spec and tickets to a green PR, checked against our Definition of Ready
• Three review layers before merge: an agent code review, automated review in CI, then a human gate focused on what machines can't judge
• Our own AI model, our agent in Linear, takes a bug report from triage to an open PR on its own

Technical Lead — numa (formerly COSI)

Led the engineering team behind numa's pricing platform, the system that sets room prices across our properties every day. We designed the architecture, moved it to serverless AWS, and turned the pricing logic from manual rules into algorithm-driven tools that the revenue team could trust and adjust on their own.

• Built the platform on serverless AWS with NestJS and TypeScript
• Built internal React tools for pricing and property go-lives
• Mentored the team and set the technical standards we still use

Consultant — Devmania

A small software factory made up only of highly specialized people, covering engineering, architecture, design and product. Companies like Nubank, Itaú and TON brought us in when they had a product to launch on a tight deadline, and we took it from idea to production fast.

• Built and shipped web apps and backend services for banks and fintechs
• Set up the architecture and infrastructure for new products (Node.js, React, Docker, MongoDB)
• Worked remotely alongside client teams, often under launch pressure

Tech Lead — Learn To Fly

First technical hire, brought in to build a team and turn the idea into a working product. I designed the architecture, built most of the system from scratch, and led the developers and designers I hired from the first version to production.

• Designed and built the platform with React, Node.js and Kubernetes on AWS
• Hired and led the engineering and design team
• Set up the engineering basics early: CI/CD, production monitoring and bug tracking

Full-Stack Engineer — Colmeia

Full-stack engineer at a startup building a social network as a service, a platform that let companies run their own branded social networks. I led a small team of developers and designers that delivered the whole client app.

• Built the client app in Angular, designed to scale as the user base grew
• Helped design and build the Node.js backend on Google Cloud
• Led the day-to-day work of the developers and designers on the client side

Founder — EduCaqui

Founded with friends as a peer-to-peer tutoring platform. Took it from ideation to implementation and raised angel investment, but the company folded during the test phase.

Intern — Itaú BBA

Internship on the technology team at Itaú BBA, the investment banking arm of Itaú, working on systems for the bank's international units in New York, London and Nassau/Cayman.

• Worked on software development and business analysis for international banking systems
• Gathered requirements with business teams, built screen prototypes and wrote specifications
• Supported business teams during testing and tracked incidents to resolution

Undergraduate Student Researcher — IME-USP

Research at the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo that led to the publication of the paper "Event Simulator for Spacial Systems".
