Work, study, and adventure timeline

Apple (2025-present)

I'm currently working as Instructional Designer - Code at Apple.

LinkedIn Learning (2016-2025)

I worked for 9 years at LinkedIn Learning as a Content Producer for online courses in English. I also recorded courses for the Brazilian Portuguese library.

LDT (2015-2016)

I concluded a Master's in Education from the Learning, Design, and Technology program at Stanford's Graduate School of Education.

"The program prepares professionals to design and evaluate educationally informed and empirically grounded learning environments, products, and programs that effectively employ emergent technologies in a variety of settings."

My area of interest was course publication platforms, lesson planning, and curriculum construction tools. I explored ways to scaffold experts in the process of creating a course in online or blended environments.

Thank you to the Lemann Foundation for making this possible.

"Founded in 2002 by Jorge Paulo Lemann, the Lemann Foundation is a non-for-profit family organization."

iai? (2009-2016)

In 2009, I started the Interactive Arts Institute, a school and software house focused on mobile app development. The mission was to demystify technology: learn by teaching and teach by learning.

The software house built apps for companies, and the school offered courses for beginners, developers, kids, designers, project managers, and entrepreneurs.

I wanted to make these courses available to more people, more effectively. That gap pushed me to go back to school and deepen my EdTech knowledge.

Motorcycle trip (Oct-Dec, 2008)

New York to Sao Paulo: my passion for adventure took over and I decided to ride back to Brazil. It was 80 days on the road, around 250 miles each day, with some minor pauses.

I documented the full journey in Moto NY-SP blog posts.

ITP, NYU (2006-2008)

In 2008 I completed a Master's in the Interactive Telecommunications Program at NYU Tisch School of the Arts. It inspired the school I later started.

I focused on UX, interaction design, and programming for the newly launched iPhone. My thesis project, Pocket Learning, combined a student mobile app with a simple publication tool for teachers.

The motivation came from years in mobile content, where I felt the business model and delivery technology had stalled.

Ringtones.com (2003-2006)

I represented Mobile Stream's Ringtones.com brand in Brazil, closing deals with mobile networks, content providers, music editors, artists, and media groups.

I also coordinated development customizations and integrations for billing and content delivery systems.

Bionnovation (2003)

In a transition period, I worked as an Industrial Engineer/developer and designed an internal system to optimize production planning, stock control, and purchasing schedules.

Longo Vision (2002-2003)

I moved through a creative period focused on professional video production, including editing work for TV shows, making-of projects, and documentary narrative construction.

Here are some of the videos.

Oi (2001-2002)

I helped build Brazil's first GSM operator, coordinating RFPs, negotiations, and technical implementations across content and media services.

With a team of engineers, I interfaced with IT and marketing to evaluate new products and integrations.

Zip.Net (2000-2001)

At Zip.Net, a major Brazilian portal and free email provider, I led the project to implement one of Latin America's first WAP portals in conjunction with Telesp Celular, called WAAAP.

We implemented a CMS for automatic cross-publication between web and WAP content, plus third-party integrations.

Sailing Trip (1999)

Miami - Portugal - Brazil. My best friend from high school invited me to cross the Atlantic. We bought a racing boat, adapted it for cruising, and sailed through Bermuda, Azores, Portugal, Canary Islands, Cape Verde, and Brazil.

Here are some pictures.

AMS (1997-1999)

At American Management Systems, I implemented Lotus Notes interfaces for a management team leading 300 consultants on New York City's financial and adjudication system upgrades.

One project managed enrollment, scheduling, and assessments for 7,000 city employees who needed training.

RPI (1993-1997)

I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a B.S. in Industrial and Management Engineering. I was split between film and engineering, heavily influenced by my father, architect Eduardo Longo, whose work blends aesthetics and function.

I kept the creative side active through multimedia, photography, electronic arts, and video-making.

K-12 (1987-1993)

I was fortunate to have parents who prioritized international education. I attended St. Paul's School, Graded School, and the International School of Milan.
