GRC | IT & Data Governance | Cloud | Business Analysis | ERP & SaaS Business Development

I connect governance, technology, data, and business operations to help organizations understand risk, improve processes, make informed decisions, and identify opportunities for growth.

With a background in Law and experience as an entrepreneur and operations manager, I bring together analytical thinking, process improvement, customer relationships, business development, and technology. My current focus spans Cyber GRC, IT Governance, Data Governance, Cloud Security, Business Intelligence, and the business side of technology—including ERP and SaaS ecosystems, commercial operations, and data-informed sales.

I earned the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification and completed the AWS re/Start program at Escola da Nuvem. I am pursuing a degree in Cloud Computing at UNICID, an institution that partners with Google Cloud. I use this GitHub portfolio to document practical projects, frameworks, and experiments at the intersection of governance, data, cloud, and business.
