About
I'm Thales Vinicius Fernandes, a passionate learner. I work at the intersection of product, design, and engineering — turning fuzzy problems into shipped, useful software.
This site is where I write about that work: the decisions, the trade-offs, and the things I'm still figuring out. You can also find a selection of projects I've built or contributed to.

Curiosity
After a successful exit from my startup, I took an unexpected detour from tech. I turned my passion for natural fermentation into a business, opening a Neapolitan pizzeria and a café focused on naturally fermented bread and pastries. It was one of the most intense, and enjoyable, periods of my life.
