Those who code philosophize; those who philosophize, develop.

Postdoctoral researcher (FAPESP fellow) at FAU-USP, working at the intersection of digital humanities, philosophy of technology, and applied AI. I build the systems I also write critically about: intelligent document processing, vector search, RAG, and agentic AI applied to born-digital archives. Ph.D. and M.A. in Communication (UFF, with a doctoral research stay at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne / BnF) · B.A. in Philosophy (USP). My working thesis: editing a database's parameters is editing how we see, so I spend my days philosophizing about JOINs and OCR pipelines in more or less equal measure. |

How to make AI agent governance auditable, not just functional.
Open-source tooling for digital archives, cultural heritage collections, and archival AI workflows.
Agentic AI evaluation, provenance tracking, and workflow design that survives real-world use - if this is your field, say hi.
Database aesthetics, RAG for archives, digital humanities, and 1920/30s German and British photojournalism (yes, really - long story, it's my PhD).
⚡ Fun fact: my two academic lives — photojournalism history and AI infrastructure — turned out to be the same question asked twice: who gets to decide what an image means?

If you're looking for the tech executive and Microsoft MVP also named Douglas Romão — that's not me. I'm the one who footnotes his commits.
