About

Leonardo Tonezi

I build systems that hold up when it matters — across healthtech, fintech, and SaaS, for the past 8 years. I hold an MBA in AI & Big Data from USP, where I trained satellite-imagery models to predict wildfires across the Brazilian Amazon.

What drives me is the idea that a product can genuinely solve a problem that matters, something that improves lives and makes the next generation's work a little easier. I care about the architectural choices that make that possible, and about the kind of environment where ideas are welcomed and built on. That's the real upside of working on a great team

Based in Florianópolis, Brazil. Open to remote roles, consulting, and worthwhile collaborations.
