Get to know me better

Experienced chef with a strong background in fine dining, delivering custom menus and full restaurant-quality service in the comfort of your home.

With eight years of professional experience in high-pace commercial kitchens and fine dining establishments, my journey in gastronomy has been defined by a deep respect for tradition, technical discipline, and a passion for memorable hospitality. Having worked through the ranks from line cook to subchef, I have honed the craft of turning quality seasonal ingredients into refined, soulful dishes.

My culinary philosophy centers on authentic flavors and modern culinary techniques—taking inspiration from classic European and Brazilian regional traditions and reinterpreting them into elegant, accessible menus. Whether crafting a relaxed sequence of artisanal small plates or executing a multi-course dinner, my focus is always on precision, timing, and creating an intimate dining experience where every detail is taken care of.

As a personal chef, I bring the polish, organization, and standards of a professional restaurant directly to your table, allowing you and your guests to simply sit back and enjoy.
