I've spent 17 years inside the systems you're afraid to break.

dezotech exists for a specific, uncomfortable gap: the one between wanting AI today and being able to prove, when the auditor calls, that you adopted it safely.

Every company I talk to is having the same quiet argument with itself. One side sees what LLMs and autonomous agents can do right now — the productivity is real, the competitors are already moving. The other side has watched what happens when you bolt fast-moving technology onto a decades-old, regulated system and skip the legal questions: data leaving the building, models nobody approved, a breach nobody can explain. dezotech started in that argument.

I'm Andre Queiroz. For seventeen years I built and shipped production systems inside banking, government, and enterprise — places where "move fast and break things" is a great way to end up explaining yourself to a regulator. I learned modernization the slow, safe way: strangler-fig migrations that cut over one slice at a time, with a rollback at every step, so the business never stops while the old system quietly retires.

When LLMs and agents arrived, I watched capable teams freeze — not because the technology was hard, but because nobody could answer the audit questions. Where does the data go? Who signed off on this model? What happens when it's confidently wrong? "Shadow AI" isn't really a tooling problem. It's people shipping value faster than governance can keep up, and hoping nobody asks. I build the path that lets them stop hoping.

What I bring

Four disciplines, grounded in work that actually shipped.

Process automation

Hybrid RPA and AI agents that run inside your controls, with audit trails built in from day one — not bolted on later.

Legacy modernization

Strangler-fig migrations across COBOL, .NET and Java systems: incremental cutover, rollback-safe, zero big-bang.

AI governance

Work mapped to EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF and ISO 42001 — applied as practical controls, not a certificate on the wall.

Secure AI adoption

Turning shadow AI into a governed advantage: find what's already in use, contain the risk, give people a safe fast path.

How I work

Govern first. Ship in slices. Prove it as you go.

I work with you directly — no hand-off to a junior, no bait-and-switch. Remote, in English or Portuguese. Every decision gets documented and every change is proven before it ships, because the only version of "fast" that counts is the one still standing after the audit.

Have a decision you can't afford to get wrong?
