Open for projects & consultancy

Hi, my name is

Guilherme Kenzo

Software Developer & Technical Consultant

I build pragmatic, scalable software and lead the teams that ship it. From AI-powered platforms to data-heavy backends, I turn hard technical problems into systems that work.

Who I am

About Me

Developer · Software Developer & Technical Consultant

I'm a software developer and technical leader based in São Paulo. I'm currently Tech Lead at C2S (Contact2sale), and previously spent over five years as CTO at Turivius, where I led interdisciplinary teams of developers, data scientists, and designers building AI-powered solutions for legal research and compliance.

My path is a little unusual: I bridge law and technology. I hold a Master's in Law from the University of São Paulo (USP) and researched the intersection of law and tech at FGV. That domain depth, paired with hands-on engineering, lets me design systems that actually fit the problem.

I'm comfortable across the stack and pick the right tool for the job — Python, Go, JavaScript, C, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, and whatever else the work needs. Right now I'm open for projects and consultancy.
