enzo vasconcelos
i'm a software engineer in São Paulo, moving to Florianópolis in January 2027. i turn real operational pain into agents, automations and RAG systems, and i measure them by their results.
i work end to end: discovery with the people who know the domain, the architecture, orchestrating teams of agents, evaluating them on benchmarks, and improving them with a human approving each step. i keep the cost under control, and i stay critical about where ai shouldn't decide alone.
work
opera-
a company's tools in one place (a dashboard, a crm with WhatsApp, a timesheet, finance, files, an app for the client), with a team of ai members, one for each area: they prepare the work, and a person approves it.
-
my experimental site: one page of stippled fog, a hand-drawn φ and typewriter text, with its own design system, a typeface drawn with the φ's brush, and Rust workers on Cloudflare.
-
a governed orchestrator. in a pre-registered study on 88 fresh SWE-bench Pro tasks, a Haiku-first cascade matched single Opus within a 10-point margin (83 vs 85 solved) at about 61% less cost per solved task.
-
a retrieval engine for corpora that change over time. it cites its sources, and abstains when it can't.
-
an open-source, local-first second brain that measures itself.
-
a self-improving code agent, with planted flaws and hidden tests to catch it gaming its own benchmark.

this page
paginathis is the plain version. aphes.ist is the other one: an experimental site made of fog, a hand-drawn φ and typewriter text, where nothing is explained. i design and build both, and the design system they share. if you want the short, readable summary, you're in the right place.
