What I'm looking for

I seek full-stack roles where I can build and maintain systems, work cross-functionally in agile teams, tackle legacy migrations, and continue learning in an international environment that values quality and impact.

I am a software engineer with a solid foundation in multiple programming paradigms and years of experience working with international teams since 2021. I routinely use English for verbal and written communication while contributing across the software development lifecycle.

I have delivered full-stack solutions using Python (Django, FastAPI), React, and supporting tools like Retool and Quicksight, migrating legacy systems and building new features for startups and biotech clients. I focus on software architecture, quality assurance, and usability while balancing maintenance and new development.

My background spans diverse industries — biomedicine, cultural projects, finance, digitization, and semiconductors — and I bring experience with testing (pytest, Cypress), containerization (Docker), databases (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB), and automation. I enjoy exploring tool limits, optimizing integrations, and switching between contexts and teams.

I contribute to community projects and teaching (PyLadies DF) and have research experience building specialized applications and ML-based recommendation tools. I am driven by delivering value to clients, improving time-to-market, and continuous learning.
