In the 2017 Pan American Fencing Championships he won a bronze in the individual épee competition, at just 18 years old.[5]

Camargo was at the 2023 World Fencing Championships, held in Milan, Italy. He participated in the Brazilian men's épée team, which defeated Great Britain 44–40 in the first round, but in the 2nd phase, faced the powerful Italy, who would go on to become champions of the tournament, losing 44–21.[10]
Seven years after emerging as a promise, and gaining experience over the years, Camargo won a bronze medal at the 2023 Pan American Games hosted in Santiago, Chile, in the Men's épée, defeating Colombian Jhon Rodríguez in the quarter-finals, 10th in the world and best in the Americas at the moment.
