“I had the privilege of being Luiz's manager at Influitive for a couple of years, and what a ride it was! From promoting him to Senior Software Engineer to watching him lead his team like a pro, Luiz was nothing short of impressive. Here’s the deal with Luiz: he was the tech wizard everyone went to when things got tricky. He didn’t just fix problems; he taught our newer folks how to do it too, making our team stronger and more united. Luiz was more than just his tech skills. He was the heart of our team, always boosting morale and keeping spirits high with his endless energy and positivity. He bagged many company awards - "Take Ownership" and "All-Around Team Member," plus he was our Employee of the Month on more than one occasion. His knack for making tough decisions shone through, especially when it came to aligning with Product teams. Luiz wasn't shy about asking the hard questions on scope or priority and was confident enough to challenge product manager requirements if he thought they might compromise our app's integrity. This approach showed he wasn't just about doing things; he was about doing them right. And when we were brainstorming or planning, Luiz’s voice was one you looked forward to hearing. He brought a perspective that was all his own - cutting through the noise with clarity and insight that propelled us forward every time. In short, Luiz was a powerhouse at Influitive. Beyond coding, he shaped our team’s culture with his leadership and zest. I've no doubt he'll keep on being a standout, no matter where he goes or what he does.”

- Leader during COLETA, a massive mobilization action of volunteers that raise funds to finance our social projects throughout the year. We went to streets of our cities to denounce the violation of rights lived daily by eleven million people in favelas of Brazil.
TETO is an organization that works to defend the rights of people living in the most precarious favelas, reducing their vulnerability through community engineering and the mobilization of volunteers.
TETO seeks to build more dignified housing, form community leaders and involve everyone in improvement projects for its neighborhoods.
