Sophia Laços

E-commerce Platform

Online store for Sophia Laços, a Brazilian atelier of handmade hair bows. Customers browse the catalog, fill a cart and close the order on WhatsApp or pay online, and an admin panel handles products, photos and orders.

G Home Lab

Production Infrastructure

The in-house server cluster that runs Grendene's factory systems. Its five servers host more than 30 internal apps, 10 of them dashboards that monitor the factory floor, along with the company's data pipeline and a private AI assistant that runs on local hardware. When something breaks, an automated check on each server repairs network, storage and container failures on its own.

Lakehouse Local — Cloud-Agnostic

Data Lakehouse

A complete company data platform, similar to what Databricks offers, that runs on local servers without depending on a cloud provider. It pulls data in from other systems, both in scheduled loads and as changes happen, then cleans and organizes it in stages until it is ready for reports. Quality checks run automatically, bad records go to a quarantine area, and every number can be traced back to where it came from.

About

I'm a Software Engineer and Data Engineer at Grendene S/A, one of Brazil's largest footwear makers. I joined in 2010 as a production helper and moved into software and data in 2019. Today I build the internal systems teams use every day and the data pipelines behind the company's reports, which process millions of records a day.

I also run the servers all of this lives on, inside the factory, including a private AI assistant that runs on the company's own hardware. I have a degree in Business Administration and postgraduate degrees in People Management and Software Engineering, which helps me work between business and technical teams.
