My focus is on engineering technological strategies for digital radio, aiming to break down the barriers that currently hinder the widespread adoption of this new way of experiencing radio.

I intend to serve as a facilitating bridge between the digital radio industry in Brazil, recognizing the immense difficulty that standards bodies, manufacturers, and the general population face in establishing effective communication — a challenge that only deepens the paralysis of the analog-to-digital radio transition in Brazil and even contributes to the slow progress in areas where the process has already begun.

My mission is to understand how technology transforms society and how we can use this knowledge to build more human-centered, efficient, and sustainable strategies.

Always open to dialogue, collaboration, and projects involving innovation, people, and real impact.

The Effort for Radio 3.0 Is Urgent, but the Hybrid System Will Ultimately Be Consumed by Its Own Connected DNA

Radio 3.0 represents the convergence of FM broadcasting and internet streaming. It is not limited to audio alone. Text, images, and video can also be delivered over the internet, since streaming relies on that very infrastructure. The goal is to integrate traditional radio with the digital environment. However, this concept contains an inherent contradiction. As soon as the system gains widespread adoption, it will naturally encourage listeners to go beyond its original purpose. People will...

O esforço da ABERT pelo Rádio 3.0 é urgente, mas o sistema híbrido será devorado pelo seu próprio DNA conectivo

O Rádio 3.0 representa a união entre a transmissão em FM e o streaming. Não se trata apenas de áudio: texto, imagens e vídeos também podem ser transportados pela internet, já que o streaming utiliza exatamente essa infraestrutura. A proposta é criar uma integração entre o rádio tradicional e o ambiente digital. No entanto, esse conceito carrega uma contradição. Assim que o sistema conquistar os ouvintes, despertará naturalmente o desejo de ir além da proposta original. As pessoas não vão...

Chinese automotive giant expected to adopt native IP Radio in its vehicles, providing access to more than 50,000 digital radio stations with audio quality superior to Brazil's analog FM

The fact that Brazil still does not have a digital radio system places the country in a technological vacuum. Paradoxically, this may actually become an advantage, as it creates the opportunity to adopt the most efficient system, with greater coverage and the ability to offer listeners a much larger number of radio stations. Content Something beyond Spotify. More than just music, it delivers local, regional, and international news and sports, while allowing radio hosts to interact with their...
