What I'm looking for

I aim to deepen my work in frontend architecture, software engineering, and AI-driven solutions while contributing to high-scale digital products in global environments.

At Mercado Livre, I designed and built an internal application with React, TypeScript, and Next.js to replace spreadsheet-based operational processes. The project migrated all workflows in its scope to a centralized system, and I defined architecture and engineering standards for its evolution.

At PicPay, I contributed to Open Finance products, from greenfield architecture to applications integrated with financial services. I created an NX monorepo and a Storybook-documented design system, and optimized selected journeys to reduce rendering time by approximately one second.

Across my work in financial products and e-commerce, including VTEX projects at Jüssi, I’ve developed frontend platforms and web applications. I’ve also used Claude Code, Codex, and existing MCPs to support engineering workflows, anticipate validations, and reduce rework.
