About

Enterprise Cloud Architecture & Automation

I'm a Senior Cloud Solution Architect specializing in Microsoft 365 and SharePoint — with a focus on storage optimization, governance, and enterprise-scale automation. Since 2001, I've been designing, building, and optimizing Microsoft-based solutions across infrastructure, development, and administration.

My work centers on helping organizations transform storage costs into strategic investments — enabling governance at scale, automating operational overhead, and preparing environments for AI adoption (Microsoft Copilot readiness). I build tools and solutions that operate at tenant scale, helping recover hundreds of terabytes of SharePoint storage across enterprise environments.

Based in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Married and father of two, combining professional experience with a strong focus on building practical, real-world solutions.

Core focus areas: SharePoint Online, Microsoft 365 ecosystem, automation (PowerShell, .NET), storage governance, AI enablement, and enterprise architecture.

Featured Project

SPO Version Management

Enterprise SharePoint Storage Optimization

A free, open-source PowerShell solution that helps organizations reclaim wasted SharePoint Online storage by intelligently managing file versions at scale. Built on official Microsoft Graph and SharePoint APIs — pure orchestration with no direct data manipulation.

SPO Version Management solves a critical problem: uncontrolled file version accumulation that silently consumes storage quotas, increases costs, and blocks governance initiatives. It enables IT teams to enforce version policies, automate cleanup, and redirect budget from storage waste toward productivity and AI.

Discover how much storage you can recover — and what that means for your organization.

Free & Open Source Official Microsoft APIs Enterprise-Ready

Key differentiators: tenant-scale execution, safe orchestration (no data manipulation), comprehensive governance reporting, unattended automation support, multi-language dashboard.

Impact

From Storage Waste to Strategic Investment

The Problem

SharePoint Online accumulates file versions silently. Organizations often discover 40-70% of their storage is consumed by outdated versions — translating directly to unnecessary licensing costs.

The Cost

Storage waste isn't just a technical issue — it represents budget that could be accelerating productivity and AI adoption. Every gigabyte of unnecessary versions is money not invested in Microsoft Copilot, automation, or digital transformation.

The Solution

Automated governance at scale. Reclaim storage, enforce policies, and transform cost into investment — enabling organizations to fund AI initiatives with savings from optimization.

As organizations move toward AI-driven workflows, optimizing storage and governance becomes a foundational step for unlocking real productivity gains. Learn more about SharePoint storage optimization.
