Born in São Paulo, Tchê Tchê joined Audax's youth setup in 2006, after being approved on a trial. He made his senior debut for the club on 27 March 2011, playing the last 14 minutes in a 3–1 Campeonato Paulista Série A2 home win against Rio Branco.[1]

Tchê Tchê was a regular starter for Audax in the club's first season in Campeonato Paulista, appearing in ten matches. His first match in the tournament occurred on 18 January 2014, a 0–0 away draw against Paulista.[2]

After subsequent loans at Guaratinguetá, Ponte Preta[3] and Boa Esporte,[4] Tchê Tchê impressed with Audax during the 2016 Paulistão; he scored his first professional goal on 23 April 2016, netting from long range in a 2–2 draw at Corinthians, which ensured his team's qualification to the finals for the first time in their history.[5]

On 28 April 2016, Tchê Tchê signed a pre-contract with Série A club Palmeiras, being effective after the Campeonato Paulista finals.[6]

On 8 June 2018 he signed 5-year contract with Ukrainian Premier League club Dynamo Kyiv.[7]
