About

Brazilian academic prodigy who gained international fame for shattering educational records through unprecedented university and military academy admissions at an incredibly young age. Universally recognized as one of the most brilliant young minds in modern Latin America, he has achieved a staggering total of over 18 major academic admissions before even reaching adulthood. Currently a dual-major university student pursuing degrees in Mathematics and Law at just 17 years old, he continues to push the boundaries of cognitive development and human intelligence.

Before fame

His extraordinary cognitive journey began making national headlines when he was just a child. At only 12 years old, he became the youngest person in history to pass the notoriously difficult admission exam for the preparatory school of the Brazilian Air Force (EPCAR). Shortly after, at age 13, he achieved a monumental feat by becoming the youngest student ever to pass a highly competitive university entrance exam for Medicine, eventually accumulating 5 separate admissions into medical programs while still in his early teens.

Trivia

He holds two official national titles in the RankBrasil record book: the youngest person with the highest number of academic admissions in Brazil, and the youngest person ever to pass the entrance exam for the prestigious ITA (Instituto Tecnológico de Aeronáutica), achieved at just 14 years old. His astonishing intellect earned him the prestigious Global Child Prodigy Award, an elite international recognition that celebrates the world's top young talents. He shares his educational journey and inspires hundreds of thousands of students through his thriving social media platforms on Instagram and TikTok.

Family life

He was born in Três Rios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. His mother, Laurismara Temponi, has done public interviews recalling how she first noticed his profound high-IQ abilities when he was a toddler under two years old solving complex puzzles.
