My Journey

My thoughts are shaped by three guiding forces: my faith in Christ, Amor Fati, and Essentialism. These principles teach me acceptance and resilience while making me delusional enough to keep going against anything.

It all began 15 years ago, when I was just 10, living in Buenos Aires. Fascinated by technology's dark side, I built small malware programs on CDs and studied how people were endangered by tech risks. By 15, that curiosity blossomed into a deep love for programming. I learned bash scripts and basic Java, dreaming of the endless possibilities code could create.

As a teenager, the world opened up before me. I discovered marketing and writing, publishing short stories in contests while learning marketing on my own. These were the seeds that grew into my growth engineering career. I taught English and Portuguese at school, earned my taekwondo black belt at 18, and even started a martial arts gym with my brother—mixing discipline with the thrill of building businesses.

The path was not easy. I worked as a freelancer in web development, creating my church's first website—a humble beginning. I became the lead scriptwriter for a YouTube channel with a million subscribers and started a podcast that, well, didn't quite take off. Then the pandemic hit, ending the gym. I quit college and started a vegan ghost kitchen that actually worked well, helping my family through those hard times.

In 2021, I fully embraced the corporate world. From Lenovo's Windows 11 launch to Mercado Libre and Expedia, I led teams, scaled systems, and drove massive growth through innovation. I guided startups from zero to seed, and seed to Series A. But amid all the success, I yearned to build my own destiny—not just execute on others' ideas.

2024 was my homecoming. I started building projects again, launching Steps to guide engineers' careers, making fake end, an open source tool that solved real dev pain, and an ESLint plugin for cleaner code.

This month, I went all in on entrepreneurship, starting ggofri.com to help founders grow with experimentation.

Now, at 25, with a decade of code and creation, I share the wisdom I earned.

Through ggofri.com, I guide founders to scale in a good way, while making indie tools that solve real problems.

My path from malware curious kid to growth architect shows that true innovation mixes technical mastery with human insight. With 10 years in tech, 10 with my wife, 2 kids, and lessons from every battle, I build not just products, but legacies.
