Santos focused on the 200 metres and long jump in his youth career. He placed fourth in the long jump at the 2014 Brazil U18 Championships and improved to runner-up the following year. He reached the podium of both the 100 metres and 200 m at the 2016 Brazilian U20 Championships, which earned him a place on the 4 × 100 metres relay team for Brazil at the 2016 IAAF World U20 Championships. Santos also made his debut at the Brazilian Athletics Championships that year, reaching the 100 m semi-finals.[2]
A run of 10.27 seconds for the 100 m brought him third at the 2017 Brazilian Championships,[2] and he repeated that, placing at the 2017 South American Championships in Athletics for a bronze medal. He also anchored the men's 4 × 100 m relay team to the gold medals, with a team of Flávio Barbosa, Aldemir da Silva Júnior, and Bruno de Barros.[3] He competed sparingly in the 2018 season, with his highlight of the year being fifth place at the 100 m national championship race.[2]
He won the 100 m silver medal at the 2019 South American Championships in Lima.[4] At the 2020 Troféu Brasil de Atletismo he was runner-up to Paulo André de Oliveira in the 100 m and also helped his club, SESI São Paulo, to second place in the relay.[5]
He improved his personal best with 10.10 (+0.8) at Cougar Athletic Stadium (Azusa Pacific University), Azusa, CA on 16 April 2021.
He competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics.[6]
On September 9, 2023, Bardi achieved a mark of 9.96 in the 100 meters, becoming the Brazilian record holder at the time.[7] After Issam Asinga's faster 100-meters run was rescinded due to doping,[8] Bardi's 9.96 second run became the fastest at the 100 meters for a South American until July 31, 2025 when countryman Erik Cardoso ran a faster time of 9.93.
