Hey I’m Lucas.

I’m an engineer, researcher and product designer.

I currently live in Sydney. I grew up in Brazil and previously studied at UNSW.

Recently left my job at PwC to go all-in AI and robotics. I dabbled in fusion research as an undergrad, but decided the inflection point for robotics is much closer.

As a deep generalist with experience, I’ve built vertically integrated systems, from large-scale web platforms to real-time machine learning running on-device:

Some more fun projects:

Other stuff I’ve been up to:

• Technion Yom Ha’Atzmaut ‘25 hackathon winner
• UNIHACK ‘24 hackathon winner
• Scaled reusable coffee cups across Australia at Cercle
• Started selling code to business clients when I was 16
• Tinkering in the garage with electrons since I was 15
• Resume
• Mobius strip
• I never got my pen license
