About

Tech Lead with 12 years leading engineering teams on CRM, customer service, and sales products. Today, at Escale, I lead the construction of a sales ecosystem with artificial intelligence at its core — around 20 systems built 100% with AI, from the sales agent to the funnel and dashboards. Over 25 years in IT, I have combined technical leadership with hands-on coding in Node.js, Ruby on Rails, PHP, AWS, and N8N.

Success Stories

AI Sales Ecosystem

Escale

Flagship project

My largest and most ambitious project. Escale ran its automated sales ecosystem on third-party systems — it worked, but bringing each new client into production took around 60 days and required updating several systems, creating so much friction that some clients churned before going live. We built our own ecosystem: around 20 new systems, all built 100% with AI, fully architected and integrated, with client onboarding now happening from a single dashboard.

  • The AI automatically generates and tests the sales agents' prompts and suggests A/B test plans.
  • It supports the client in building the knowledge base.
  • It analyzes 100% of conversations, message by message — detecting when a lead opts for the product and even recognizing the lead's mood.
  • It builds the dashboards and organizes each client's sales funnel.

60 days → 4 hours to bring a new client's environment into production

2–3 / year → 3 / month in new client acquisition pace

100% AI NPS

Movida

Movida's first system built 100% with AI. Previously, each project sent its own NPS surveys separately and without a standard. I centralized everything into a single platform that unifies, organizes, and guarantees survey delivery — raising the response rate and bringing predictability to customer feedback.

50% → 100% in survey delivery rate

40% → 90% in customer response rate

Customer Service CRM

Movida

Movida's customer service channels used to run separately and disorganized, with many tickets going unanswered or unresolved. I built the CRM that unified every channel and began organizing and routing requests across the operations teams — with end-to-end traceability and a stronger relationship with the customer base.

50% → 100% of customer requests now handled and resolved, with end-to-end tracking

Online Auction

Sodré Santoro

Latin America's first live online auction platform, fully web and mobile. I led the technical foundation that moved auctions from a nearly all in-person model to anywhere — cutting operational costs and expanding the business's reach and value.

5% → 80%+ of bids shifted to online after launch
