Who Am I

A creative positive thinker

Virgilio Magalhaes

My five strengths, connected

Creativity sits at the center — the other four feed it, steer it, and keep it true.

Tap or hover a strength to see how it connects.

What I Do

Translate complex ideas into simple solutions.

AI & LLM Engineering

As a partner in Google for Startups AI and the Anthropic Claude Network, I bring a clear landscape of the possibilities in this new way of working with AI. Past experience with embedded machine-learning models completes the perspective — applying ML and LLMs from apps to APIs.

AI Strategy & Leadership

I help decision-makers understand what they need for their next step of success — combining product development strategy, people and culture, and AI capabilities to support the next growth goals.

Full-Stack Product Building

From analog to digital, from native apps to scalable distributed systems — delivering what matters in the short term, without friction. Simple is enough: small steps, progress every day. No beautiful words or eye-catching promises — pragmatic, focused action is the main guide.

Talks, Mentorship & Coaching

Community events that grow competences and share experience across management, development and digital products; guiding young students with clarity on their career path; and volunteer programs improving education in Brazil.

AI Portfolio

From vision to AI-first products, created.

Mentorship

I grow people, not just systems.

Through my background and studies, leadership and personal development have always come naturally — through the human-values education program, systemic work and family constellations, strategic human development (EDH), NLP, Management 3.0, and executive leadership coaching.

All of this knowledge, combined with my volunteer experience, shapes my ability to understand each person and work with their strengths and weaknesses, natural talents, and personal-professional alignment — building teams and combining different profiles toward a shared goal.

"The journey was amazing — it transformed so much in my personal life, and especially in my professional one, through his methodology and tools. On top of that, Virgilio is sincere, skilled and respectful."
Software Engineer
"Throughout the process, he guided me clearly, bringing insights and gentle 'provocations' that pulled me out of inertia and helped me see the opportunities around me — in my current field and beyond. If I had to sum up the 'Mentorship Journey' in one word, mine would be 'transformation.'"
Corporate Educator
"I took part in the Mentorship Journey with Virgilio, and it was deeply meaningful. At first I felt a bit 'stuck,' unable to put into words the goals I wanted to reach. It became a light on a path I had already chosen but that was still unclear."
Tech Lead
"This journey helped me understand how my values align with my professional growth, making it deeply rewarding and transformative. Every conversation was enriching, and the learning was immense at each session. I believe Virgilio has a real sensitivity for understanding each mentee's individuality and their personal and professional search."

DJ Sets

Music is another way I connect the dots.

Before the apps and the AI platforms, there was a DJ mixing positive energy. I've played sets across two continents — same energy, same flow, a different frequency. Press play.

What I Believe

My manifesto

Gratitude is a technology.
It's the most reliable way I know to turn what happened into what's possible. Gratitude is where thinking, planning, and action begin — in balance. That's where it makes sense!
Inclusion and fairness, when everyone has access
I've built for bankers and for beekeepers, and the beekeepers deserve the same engineering excellence. Fairness is a design decision you make every day — including making life easier for those who understand the least.
Excellence is a form of respect.
Taking a relevant app to #1 on the Play Store, reducing the error rate to 1.3% — that's a form of respect for the people who need it most in critical moments, whether at 3am to pay for medicine or at dinner time to feed the family.
Tell the truth, especially about yourself.
I burned out. Twice. The turnaround started the day I stopped pretending, fitting in, or trying to prove something. So I won't tell you AI solves everything, nor that it's just hype, nor that it's the answer to everything — I'll help you understand where it fits and where it doesn't.
Everything is connected.
When I started delivering bread on weekends, I had no idea where it could lead. A sense of discipline, work, and commitment helped me move forward and improve every environment I passed through. The creativity of music and a sense of courage helped me stand apart — in the sense of perceiving or seeing beyond the common sense of traditional education.
Creativity is the reason for all of it.
Gratitude gives me the raw material, fairness the direction, excellence the standard, honesty the ground, and creativity puts it all in your hands. Making things is my way of channeling what life offers, perceiving differently than usual, and thanking life for the chance to live.
