Anna Maria

I'm a Full-Stack Software Engineer based in Pernambuco, Brazil, with 5 years of experience building SaaS and AI products across startup and enterprise environments. I currently work at CESAR on ESG Carbon, a platform serving 140+ companies that I helped architect from zero using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python, and Django. Before that, I spent three years at Avanade, a Microsoft and Accenture joint venture, where I grew from intern to mid-level engineer delivering chatbot and RAG-based AI products for large enterprise clients.

On the academic side, I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Information Systems from Descomplica and I'm currently doing a Postgraduate Certificate in AI Engineering at FIAP, with coursework covering LLMs, Generative AI, RAG, LangChain, and the full modern AI stack.

Outside of work, I contribute to open source, play guitar, ukulele and piano at a self-described mediocre level, and spend part of my free time at the gym.


Career

  1. CESARFull-stack Software Engineer

    At CESAR, one of Brazil's top innovation centers, I work as a Full-Stack Software Engineer on ESG Carbon, a platform ranked top-5 in ESGTech in Brazil serving 140+ companies. I architected and shipped the product from zero using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Python, and Django, turning complex GHG Protocol rules into a self-serve tool that reduced manual reporting from 3 hours to 5 minutes.

  2. AvanadeFull-stack Software Engineer

    At Avanade, a Microsoft and Accenture joint venture, I grew from intern to mid-level engineer over three years delivering chatbot and AI products for large enterprise clients. I led the technical delivery of a production WhatsApp chatbot that drove 97K+ re-engagements in 3 months, and built secure RAG-based AI assistants using LangChain, Azure OpenAI, and embeddings that gave internal teams controlled access to private knowledge bases.

    I'm currently doing a Postgraduate Certificate in AI Engineering at FIAP, with coursework spanning the full modern AI stack, from Machine Learning fundamentals and Computer Vision to LLMs, Generative AI, Prompt Engineering, Fine-tuning, RAG, and LangChain. Expected completion: March 2027.

  2. DescomplicaBachelor's Degree in Information Systems
