Profile
Consultant, product manager and builder — in one person.
I've spent over a decade turning complex operations into results: from top-tier audit to product at scale, and today building AI-powered systems that run in production. It's that combination — thinking like a consultant and PM, and building like an engineer — that sets me apart from those who only write specs.
In numbers
Layered background
Each phase added a layer — and none was lost.
I didn't swap one career for another. I stacked analytical rigor, management method, data and AI, product at scale and an owner's experience. Today I use it all together to build.

People I worked with
I had the opportunity to study with Douglas at PUC-SP and to develop projects with him at the university's Junior consultancy. What was always most notable among his skills is his analytical vision and his ability to deliver beyond what was expected, on top of a distinctive commitment and dedication that made him always work harder and push the groups he belonged to toward ever higher levels of performance. Without a doubt, an above-average professional ever since we worked together at university — goal-oriented and always very determined in everything he did. He runs projects very effectively and has a strong capacity for communication and for presenting ideas.
We worked together on audit projects, mainly for Itaú investment funds. Douglas Benhur showed commitment and important knowledge in Accounting and Auditing, as well as the management capability evident in how he organised his work, coming from a solid education at one of the best universities in São Paulo. Beyond that, Douglas has good relationships across the teams he works with and a good sense of working in a group.
Why it's hard to copy
The market has consultants who diagnose, PMs who write specs and devs who code. I do all three — and I've also run my own operation. That's why I go from the business problem straight to a system in production with no middlemen, no meaning lost in translation, and AI as a real lever for speed and quality.
How I help
Three fronts, one method.
Custom systems with AI
From problem to production: app, dashboard, backend and automation.
Product management
Discovery, roadmap, growth and prioritization — from someone who took an app to 1M+.
Digital transformation
Process, data and metrics: I organize the operation and unlock efficiency.
