What I'm looking for

I want a mid level front end role in React and TypeScript, fully remote. I like products with real complexity: a lot of state, a lot of data. For two years I was the only front end dev on a SaaS I cofounded, owning everything from architecture to release. Now I want a team again, with code review and people to learn from, somewhere that treats front end as engineering.

I am a front end engineer based in Goiânia, Brazil, with 3 years of experience building React and TypeScript applications that run in production.

For the past two years I have been cofounder and the only front end developer of a SaaS platform used by offices that manage artists. It is multitenant: each office handles several artists, and each artist has a dedicated subdomain pointing to its own backend. I built the whole web client in React and TypeScript against a Java backend, from the architecture and component library through to release. That includes a scheduling calendar, a financial module, kanban boards with drag and drop, paginated and filterable data tables, interactive maps with vehicle tracking, PDF generation, custom reports, granular user permissions, activity logs and electronic signature through D4Sign. I also built an asset module where items are scanned by barcode, so the system tracks every movement and current location and calculates depreciation automatically. On the financial side I automated most of the workflow that used to live in spreadsheets. Right now I am leading the mobile version of the product in React Native with Expo.

Before that I spent a year at EasyCrédito, a lending marketplace serving more than a million B2B and B2C users, in a team of three front end developers led by a front end lead. I maintained the white label platform and onboarded new partner companies, each one with its own branding, configuration and landing pages. Writing code that had to flex for many clients at once taught me a lot about componentisation and about not hardcoding assumptions. I worked daily with the backend, design, product, marketing and sales teams.

I came into tech after a degree in International Hospitality Management in Germany and a postgraduate diploma at FGV, and I am finishing a degree in Systems Analysis and Development. The career change is part of why I like owning things end to end: I am used to talking to the people who will actually use what I build.

I am looking for a mid level front end role, ideally React and TypeScript, remote or based in Brazil. I speak Portuguese natively, plus English, Spanish and German.
