I’m looking for a team where I can keep learning and growing, face new challenges, ship reliable and impactful features to the end user, and improve performance and UX—using React/Next.js, Node/Nest.js, and PostgreSQL to deliver compliant products.

@diegogalvo
Full-stack engineer building scalable, high-performance React/Next.js products with business-focused delivery.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Full Stack Software Engineer specialized in React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js, with a background in Sales that keeps my work grounded in business needs. I currently build and maintain software using React, Next.js, and Java, focusing on new features, UI/UX optimization, and performance improvements.
At Five Validation, I led a ground-up refactoring of a mature production frontend, migrating from React 15 to React 18 while keeping the system fully operational. I also created a new Design System to modernize the interface, improve usability, and increase performance and maintainability—while expanding automated testing with Jest, React Testing Library, and Cypress.
Beyond the frontend, I build RESTful APIs using Java (Spring Boot) and optimize PostgreSQL through schema evolution and query tuning. I mentor junior and mid-level engineers, collaborate with product and stakeholders, and work in Agile/Scrum squads to deliver reliable, compliant solutions in regulated environments.
