Services

What I do

Four ways to work with me. The first three are scoped engagements, the last one is full time.

Internal processes01

AI in internal processes

We pick a process with real volume and ship it to production with the evaluation criteria written down first.

main
Agents02

Agents in production

Evaluation and observability ship with the agent, so you find out it broke before your customer tells you.

delivery
Advisory03

Fractional CTO

Architecture, build or buy, a review of what is already running. Technical decisions without hiring a team first.

part-time
Product04

Product engineering

From discovery to code in production, inside your team. It is what I do full time at Jam.

About me

I have been building product for eleven years

I work as a product engineer for American companies. What is already routine inside them takes a while to arrive here, and that gap is what I shorten for Brazilian companies.

First paid commit

2014

I joined ContaAzul as an intern and was hired full time before the internship ended. Never stopped since.

Matheus Poleza

ContaAzul, Creditas, Origin and Voiceflow. I went through five funding rounds from inside the engineering team, from Series A to Series C.

I spent the last four years building an agent platform at Voiceflow, before it became a market topic. Today I build product at Jam.

I also run Citou, where I test first what I later recommend.
