This sparked me to start a community-led site to share anime episodes. Five years later, with 30+ active contributors across the country, this site surpassed Cartoon Network and ranked among the TOP 50 most visited sites in Brazil according to Alexa. The high traffic and growth eventually led one of the advertisers, a DVD online store, to acquire the site.• At age 17, I founded a self-publishing platform, Bookess, incensed by the realization that after forgetting a book at home, I would have to buy another physical copy just to continue reading it. Bookess was ranked among the 10 best self-publishing platforms worldwide by a Noth American magazine and was later acquired by an international bookstore group.• At age 25, I took a break from entrepreneurship to work at Rocket Internet, where I led both tech and product teams in Brazil and India, following a few other startup experiences in the technology industry.𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀• Software engineer with 20+ years'​ experience• Founder of one of Brazil's TOP 50 most visited websites at the age of 14• Founder of world's TOP 10 self-publishing platform at the age of 17• Got the first investment round at the age of 18• MIT Technology Review Innovators Award Nomination at the age of 20
