About

I started modeling in 3D at sixteen, working for clients outside Brazil before writing any code that mattered. That skill never became a hobby — it became Octus Forge, where I now review the work of six modelers across three countries.

Software came later, and came alongside it. Today I build systems that operate on their own: an agent that places orders at a real broker, a detector that finds solar panels in satellite imagery, a pipeline that assembles an entire video with nobody in the middle.

What interests me in all three is not the artificial intelligence — it is what happens when it gets things wrong. An agent with access to money needs a guard that closes by default. A model with suspiciously high metrics needs someone distrustful enough to audit their own test set. A video with numbers on screen cannot let the image generator invent the numbers.

That is why every project here ends in a number: measured by me, with the conditions I measured it under, or marked "from the project" when the measuring was not mine — because a number without conditions is advertising. They live on each project page, where the full accounting fits, not in a headline: what matters is not that the number is big, but that it is true.
