about

I'm Hamilton Tumenas Borges — chef, lawyer and software developer. Not out of indecision, but genuine curiosity. Each field left marks that, seen from a distance, form a path that makes perfect sense.

I worked in the kitchen of the InterContinental São Paulo, opened my own restaurant, earned a law degree and practiced as a lawyer. When technology crossed my path, I found the language that ties it all together: solving problems with precision and creativity.

Today I build systems with Ruby on Rails, working on complex integrations, automation and applied AI. I still believe that growing and helping others grow is what gives meaning to anything you do.

7 years in kitchens

based in São João da Boa Vista — SP, Brazil
