I like working on complex problems, testing new products, and traveling. Always trying to learn something new. My latest startup, Nears, was in the SoMoLo market in Latin America. My projects have been featured in places like Techcrunch, The Next Web, Pando Daily, Mashable, Whats New, Startupi, Emarket, Escola Dineiro and Product Hunt. I've done several small but profitable software businesses along the way.

I'm writing a book.

I've traveled to nearly 40 countries. Travel is a passion of mine. I speak English and Portuguese fluently. My Spanish is rusty and it's been years since I've spoken Arabic, but I was conversational-level.
