Featured Projects
Documentation Portal — Senior Sistemas
I've been part of the Senior Sistemas documentation team since 2014, focused on the HCM product line — the company's HR software suite. I write, edit, format and publish user manuals, tutorials, release notes and product updates, working in parallel with multiple development squads.
Go to portfolio →Guidelines for Generating Documentation with AI
I created guideline files to direct the generation of technical documentation with AI, including prompt templates, instructions for AI and best practices. The guide helps development and documentation teams use AI tools and vibe coding to create technical content efficiently and aligned with the company's writing standards.

An open-source project I created to gather educational content about Technical Writing in Brazilian Portuguese. TWLivre is a collaborative space where anyone can learn and contribute — and also a hands-on exercise in docs-as-code, with all content version-controlled on GitHub.
