What I'm looking for

I am looking for a collaborative environment that values innovation and growth.

I am a dedicated software engineer with 5 years of experience, currently pursuing a BSc in Computational Mathematics. My expertise lies in C++, TypeScript, and Python, where I have developed a strong foundation in algorithms and data structures. I pride myself on writing and maintaining production-ready code, focusing on improving code readability, modularity, and scalability.

Throughout my career, I have worked in Agile environments, contributing to enterprise-level applications and enhancing team collaboration. My role at CI&T as a Mid Front-End Developer has allowed me to develop scalable features and refactor existing systems, significantly improving delivery consistency and reducing bug rates. I have also played a key role in evolving internal component libraries, which has improved design consistency and development efficiency across teams.

In addition to my technical skills, I have a passion for problem-solving and code optimization. I have experience in both front-end and back-end development, having worked on various projects that required collaboration with cross-functional teams. I am committed to continuous learning and growth, both in my technical abilities and in my contributions to the tech community.
