Neurologist and neuroscientist by training. Brain-mapping researcher, healthcare executive, and entrepreneur — a career spent proving things in the world we can measure.
After years mapping the living brain for epilepsy and tumor surgery, I built and led companies across digital health and healthcare — raising capital, advising global institutions, and running hospital service lines. This is the 3D foundation. It is also exactly what makes the questions on the rest of this site worth taking seriously.

Before the companies, there was the research: maps of the living brain, built so surgeons could operate on epilepsy and tumors without erasing the person.
Patient-experience & digital-therapeutics company, building platforms with pharma (Novartis, Horizon).
An exam-delivery system bringing advanced exams — and quality virtual care — into the home.
A pioneering online medical-visits platform that kept Brazilian doctors with their patients through COVID-19.
One of Brazil's first cloud-deployed EMR systems — when "the cloud" was still just a fluffy thing in the sky.
Brazil's first web portal answering patients' medical questions — 100,000+ people reached; acquired by the RS Medical Association.
A venture-building practice that raised over USD 25 million for health-technology companies (Bionexo, Medicinia), backed private-equity and venture deals, and provided intelligence to leading funds. In different capacities — as operator, advisor, and board member — he has advised on over USD 500 million in transactions, including the IPO of Artiva Biotherapeutics.
The more precisely I mapped the brain, the clearer its limit became. So I followed the question outward — into consciousness, meaning, and what lies beyond.
