Building forpractical sovereignty.
My current focus is developing identity and privacy products to give people more choice in shaping their own future. My background is in growth, education and Web3 communities, and I have a PhD in Physics.
Work
Identity and privacy in practice
You should be able to participate in a community or use a service without sharing more of your life than that interaction requires. Data breaches are a real risk, so the decision to send a copy of your documents deserves to be taken seriously.
I’m working toward self-sovereign identity built on verifiable credentials and selective disclosure. The goal is to let people prove who they are and what they’re qualified to do across communities and services, while controlling what they disclose.
Practical Sovereignty
Freedom needs alternatives
Practical Sovereignty is the broader vision behind what I build. It is about the conditions that make it possible to lead your own life, seize opportunities and change course when needed.
I write about choosing where to live and whom to build with, keeping control of your money and investments, and using AI without being locked into a single provider. Being able to take your data and your work to another tool or another country is a tangible part of that autonomy.
In this vision, communities are places to cooperate and build together. The goal is not to do everything alone, but to make better choices about the people and systems we engage with. Communities like Network School and Ipê City are part of how I put these ideas into practice.

From cosmology to building products
I earned my PhD in Physics at Unicamp, researching cosmology, and spent part of that time as a visiting researcher at the University of Oslo. My scientific training taught me to examine assumptions and ask what the evidence actually supports.
I later worked on educational products and communities. At Suno, I was Head of Education, responsible for portfolio planning and product development, leading a multidisciplinary team. I co-founded Weever, where I work on strategy, business development and delivery for Web3 brands, connecting education, content and communities to growth.
At Network School, I coordinated a Zcash education and adoption project with a physical hub in Malaysia. Today, I lead the community at Ipê City, the project behind Ipê Village, Brazil’s most significant pop-up city.
