IRECÊ · BAHIA
Humble beginnings
Growing up inland taught me that opportunities do not always arrive ready-made. Often, they must be created.
Irecê · Bahia · Brazil
My journey did not begin with resources or shortcuts. It began in inland Bahia, with humble roots, the desire to build something bigger and the willingness to start over.

THE ORIGIN
I was born in Irecê, inland Bahia. My parents separated; my father is retired and my mother is a homemaker. Growing up in a modest environment taught me the value of work, persistence and accountability for every decision.
My professional journey included three açaí shops and a news website. That project was my first real experience in digital—an environment that would later change the course of my life.

THE JOURNEY
IRECÊ · BAHIA
Growing up inland taught me that opportunities do not always arrive ready-made. Often, they must be created.
FIRST STEPS
Between the açaí shops and a news site, I discovered the reach of the internet and new professional possibilities.
RIO DE JANEIRO
I left behind what I had built in Bahia and moved to Rio, where I discovered iGaming and found a new path.
VISION & EXECUTION
I noticed Brazilian players using a Chinese RTP website. I invested my savings, hired a developer and turned that need into a product built for Brazil.
THE TURNING POINT
Sinais do Guga grew from practical observation, personal resources and the decision to act. It opened doors and helped build a journey across companies, awards, interviews and stages in Brazil and abroad.
Being recognized in my industry represents everything that had to be overcome to get here.
“My origins explain my strength. The market showed the way, but the courage to begin made the journey possible.”
