I'm Délcio. I've spent the last 6 years making complicated things usable: AI data extraction platforms, chatbot builders, prescription readers, and a USSD purchasing flow for farmers who've never touched a smartphone. Before that I spent nearly a decade in mining regulation in Mozambique, which is where I learned that if people don't trust the system, it doesn't matter how well it works. Currently at Rumor Avenue. Previously built the design function at EasyBits.

From Mining to Product Design
I untangle Complex Products
My background in mining-sector regulation in Mozambique taught me to solve high-stakes, real-world complexity and earn trust from skeptical communities. Those instincts now go into the AI products and digital tools I build.
I’m currently a Product Designer at Rumor Avenue, a Canada-based agency, shipping production sites across healthcare, energy, financial services, and professional services. Before that, I spent 2+ years as the sole designer at EasyBits, an AI infrastructure company, where I built the design function from zero. The team crossed €10K MRR (EUR) on July 31, 2025. The Extractor pipeline I designed processed 45,000+ emails in production without errors.
Global Impact
Over the past 5+ years, I’ve partnered with teams across Europe, Africa, North America, LatAm and Asia to ship products people actually use:
Designed for rural farmers in Africa and Asia at Yara International. The team grew FarmCare past 5M+ downloads on Google Play across 6+ countries.
Built the design function from zero at EasyBits, an AI infrastructure company. Sole designer for 2+ years across five sub-products in regulated industries.
Shipping healthcare, energy, and financial services builds at Rumor / Pillexa. 10+ production sites in under 8 months.
Validated SmartCourse, a NYC EdTech platform connecting parents of neurodivergent kids with specialists, to ~$10K USD MRR before custom build.
Mining-sector regulation in Mozambique for 9+ years. Career foundation in compliance, stakeholder trust, and field operations with low-resource communities.
Three solo AI-native products in daily use: djoobar (job application platform), Mahli (multi-currency household finance), and Wundrlst (visa planning workspace).
How I build
I build production-grade websites in Webflow and Framer. I build design systems out of real projects, not hypotheticals; every element comes from something we actually shipped. I also ship full AI products solo, using Claude for strategy, Cursor for code, and Granola for meeting synthesis. My UX work is what makes the AI useful: knowing what to tell it to produce, and recognizing when the output needs human judgment.
I keep feedback loops short. I’d rather ship something solid this week than something perfect in three. I align with whoever gave me the task before I run, so I don’t disappear and come back with something clearly off.
