@brunomacabeusmendesd

Senior full-stack software engineer at Anima, building AI features for Figma-to-production apps and a platform connecting AI agents with people.

Portugal
Message

At Anima, I build end-to-end features for a Figma plugin, a VS Code extension, and a platform that turns Figma designs into production-ready web apps using AI. My work has been highlighted in Figma's annual keynote, and the product has more than doubled its user base.

I also build features for Anima's platform connecting AI agents and humans, including MCP support. My work spans React and TypeScript on the front end, with Flask, Mongo, and Bun/Hono on the back end.

At OutSystems, I helped build the client-side runtime and a compiler that turns a visual language into JavaScript. I added ES6 support to code generation and the runtime, enabling new features and performance gains for users.

Outside my roles, I contribute to open-source projects including Babel, Fluent, and Rocket.Chat, and build personal projects in areas such as game decompilation and reverse engineering. My projects have earned more than 500 stars, and I organize GambiConf and Meets devPT in Portugal.
