My path began in the emergency department, where a medical degree and long shifts taught me how immediate the consequences of clinical decisions are. That experience also exposed the gaps between medical practice and the legal and ethical frameworks meant to protect patients and physicians alike.
Recognizing the potential of merging medical and legal insight, I moved into forensic medicine to address disparities in healthcare justice. That work led me to found PericialMed, a medical-legal consultancy that has delivered more than 1,000 expert opinions to lawyers, companies and litigants across Brazil, with cases in the United States and Denmark.
Elected to the Federal District Board of Medicine, I served as its Internal Affairs Officer, the official who oversees ethics investigations and physician discipline, judging more than 105 ethics proceedings and authoring Opinion 01/2023 on the conflict between treating physician and court expert. The National Council of Justice later adopted it as the paradigm for implementing its Resolution 520/2023, and the Federal Council of Medicine nationalized it in 2025.
It takes months to learn how to write an expert report, and years to learn which arguments survive cross-examination.
Technology has run in parallel the whole way. I built Chat-Summary, an AI tool that summarizes, translates and transcribes large volumes of professional material, and I write about the collision of artificial intelligence, healthcare and law.
In 2026 I completed a Master in Law at the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School, concentrating on health law and patient safety, and received the Matt Parker Award, the program's sole excellence prize. The goal is the same as it was in the emergency room: a healthcare system that is technologically advanced, ethically sound and legally fair.
