Technology serves people. Everything else is implementation detail.

Erick Vavre — AI specialist, software engineer and consultant. Thirty years of code across three continents, from Y2K at a bank to national digital identity, now building Saga Labs.

3 AM, somewhere quiet — It starts with people.

Thirty years of shipping software, and the constant was never the stack — it was knowing what to build, debugged to the sound of Pongo snoring.

São Paulo, where it began — Born in the drizzle.

Y2K at Bank of America, million-dollar bugs at Bosch, code flowing through Itaipu — a career forged under Avenida Paulista's grey sky.

Sydney, three continents in — Code with a harbour view.

Faster Woolworths checkouts, Legal Aid interfaces that don't need translators, government forms Australians actually finish.

Norway, the north calls — Identity for a nation.

BankID logins grandmas manage alone, Vipps payments, FINN.no — where Pongo entered the story.

Setting sail — The corporate chapter closes.

Thirty years building other people's visions; time to captain my own, with Pongo at the prow.

Lisbon — Landfall on the Tagus.

The longship docks at Praça do Comércio — Nordic simplicity meets Brazilian warmth in the new home port.

Saga Labs — Open for business.

Erick and Pongo in the new Lisbon office: thirty years, three continents, one dog — come build something human.
