About

Turning complex ideas into working products

Marcelo is a hands-on product builder who enjoys solving problems that seem complex or impossible at first. He treats hard challenges as the interesting part of the work — the place where real products are born.

He learns technologies quickly when they help solve real-world challenges, and focuses on turning ideas into practical software products using AI, automation and modern cloud infrastructure. The goal is always the same: ship systems that businesses actually use every day.

Capabilities

What I build

Software designed around real operational needs — not technology for its own sake.

AI-powered SaaS platforms

Web applications with AI at the core — built to scale, multi-tenant ready and production-grade.

Intelligent automation systems

Automations that remove repetitive work and connect tools into reliable end-to-end flows.

WhatsApp & workflow automation

Customer service routing, message automations and business process execution over WhatsApp.

Desktop apps with offline capability

Cross-platform desktop software that keeps working without a connection, with sync and backups.

Multi-tenant business systems

Operational systems with isolated data, roles and permissions designed for real companies.

API integrations & dashboards

Connecting external services and surfacing the data that matters in operational dashboards.

Process

How I think

Product building is not about choosing trendy tools. It is about understanding the problem deeply enough to build the right system.

1

Understand the operation

I map how the business actually works day to day, where time is lost and where the real bottlenecks are.

2

Design the architecture

I choose the smallest set of technologies that fit the problem and shape a system that can grow without rewrites.

3

Build the first working version

I ship a functional version fast, focused on proving value against real workflows rather than polishing demos.

4

Improve what survives real use

Once value is proven, I harden the parts that real users depend on and refine the architecture around them.

Working Style

I am problem-driven, not tool-driven.

I do not start from a framework or a trend. I start from the operational pain, identify the bottlenecks, choose the necessary tools and build the smallest working version that can prove value.

  1. 1

    Choose technologies based on the problem, not on hype.

  2. 2

    Build fast prototypes to validate the idea early.

  3. 3

    Test with real business workflows, not synthetic demos.

  4. 4

    Improve the architecture once the value is proven.

  5. 5

    Turn rough ideas into reliable working systems.
