What I'm looking for

An exciting challenge that aligns with my experience and will allow me to further expand my skills.

I’ve worked remotely with an US-based company and large LatAm enterprises across industries like logistics, food service, fintech, and mining.

I enjoy solving real-world problems and collaborating in cross-functional teams. My recent work includes designing large-scale services using Golang. My past work includes Kotlin, Java, AWS and Python.

Fluent in English and a native Portuguese speaker, I thrive in remote environments and I'm always eager to learn.
