Bruno is a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in leading companies across the banking, telecommunications, insurance and financial markets sectors. Starting his career in software engineering, his focus quickly evolved towards a profound understanding of business process visions, solution architecture design, and the strategic delivery of quality information to decision-makers.

He holds an MBA specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Big Data from the University of São Paulo (ICMC/USP), where his thesis laid the theoretical groundwork for the presented Meta-Architecture. This research culminated in an article submitted (PROPOR 2026), demonstrating his commitment to bridging academic rigor with practical enterprise solutions. He is currently pursuing a Master's degree in Information Science at UFSCar, deepening his expertise in knowledge management and semantic design.

His core expertise lies in Data and Process Strategy, Corporate Architecture, and holistic Solution Design, always focusing on translating complex data and architectural insights into actionable business decisions. This blend of technical foundation (AI, Graph) and methodological rigor (Information Science) positions him as a strong advocate for building resilient, trustworthy, and governed AI systems, such as the Neo4j Intelligent Proxy presented in this session.

When he’s not helping finance teams untangle their payments messes, Jay is usually strapped into something loud, fast, or airborne—sometimes all three in the same week.

In the office, he’s a visionary and a natural leader for Accounts Payable teams: the kind of operator who doesn’t just “optimize a process,” but rethinks how AP should work end-to-end—simplifying the chaos, modernizing the tech stack, and rallying teams around a clear path from manual grind to automated control.

He’s also a multi-rated pilot (powered, glider, and unmanned—rotor and fixed-wing) who puts those skills to work with the Civil Air Patrol on search-and-rescue missions, logging real cockpit time when it actually counts.

Back on the ground, he’s a lifelong motorsports addict: a season points champion who’s finished 3rd out of 330 cars in divisional competition—and then decided that wasn’t chaotic enough, so he went all-in on the art (and smoke) of drift driving.

And when things “slow down,” it’s only by Jay’s standards: playing guitar in a band, disappearing off-grid in the mountains, or sending a snowmobile through deep powder like it personally offended him. If it runs on fuel, flies, or makes your heart rate question your life choices, there’s a decent chance Jay’s either done it… or is already planning the next stunt.
