Product Software Engineer
Hey! I'm Michelle, a product software engineer who loves turning people's ideas into real life products.
Almost a decade in, from enterprise to startups to solo builds, I've done the whole arc: process discovery, architecture, code, deployment. These days I'm putting all of it into simple products people actually use.
Lately I'm also having fun with a different problem: designing good environments where AI can ship better, reliable code — AI in the loop or AI first.
Still here? Nice. So, right now I'm building Moradiah, a proptech helping Brazilian families go from renting to owning: property search, legal checks, and financing in one place. It's a deeply human product: lawyers and real estate agents find their next clients through Moradiah, and families find professionals they can trust.
Before that, I spent six years split between automation — OCR pipelines turning millions of fiscal documents into structured data in days instead of weeks — and building little softwares, like a workplace-analytics platform I ported to native macOS, or a like a workplace-analytics platform I ported to native macOS, or a containerized Python framework that accounting firms ran across dozens of Brazilian municipalities.
Built a containerized Python framework automating tax declarations across Brazilian municipalities, and led the 3-person effort that retrieved millions of Nescafé fiscal notes in days, replacing weeks of work for a 20-person team.
Ported a Windows C++ workplace-analytics platform to native macOS in Swift and Objective-C, encrypted local-first storage, real-time sync, and the full Apple signing and notarization pipeline.
Built the UiPath bots behind WEX Health's claims auto-approval pipeline, automating three claim queues across OnBase and the Health Cloud admin portal.
Built Python and Selenium automation for Oracle Cloud's GRC module, with four bots running across SIT, UAT, and production environments.
Mapped and automated logistics and retail operations for ArcelorMittal, C&A, and VTEX. From process discovery to bots and automated reporting.
Built OCR-driven bots parsing high-volume tax documents into structured data; earned the UiPath Advanced Developer certification.
