Lipie Augusto de Alcântara Souza

Computer Engineer and Technical Program Manager with 10 years of end-to-end ownership of complex, high-impact technology programs — from architecture definition and stakeholder alignment to production delivery and portfolio-level metrics.

My technical core is AI systems engineering: multi-agent frameworks (LangGraph), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures with function calling, LLM integration pipelines, ML models, and cloud-native infrastructure (Azure, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes). I've consistently operated at the intersection of deep technical work and strategic program governance — leading cross-functional squads, resolving architectural dependencies, managing outsourced teams, and driving ROI-positive deliveries with break-even horizons under 12 months.

I hold a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering from CEFET-MG and a specialization in Business Informatics from Utrecht University (Netherlands). I'm also a practitioner: I built and launched Vade Mecum AI — Brazil's first RAG-based legal agent — and currently coordinate an AI & Emerging Technologies unit at one of Brazil's largest health insurers, where I run due diligence on AI startups and oversee a portfolio of production-grade AI solutions.
