BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I'm a Senior Full Stack Engineer with over 10 years of experience in building scalable, production-grade web applications. My expertise lies in JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, and modern front-end frameworks like React. I've successfully worked remotely for U.S. startups, delivering clean, maintainable code and contributing across the entire stack—from architecture to integrations.
Throughout my career, I've joined early engineering teams and played a pivotal role in simplifying complex infrastructures. At Zamp, I delivered key backend features for a tax automation platform serving over 500 customers, while at number8, I focused on performance-critical backend services, reducing API response times by 30%. My background in Robotics Engineering enhances my problem-solving and system design skills, allowing me to approach challenges with a unique perspective.
I am passionate about mentoring and advocating for clean architecture and internal code standards. I thrive in remote collaboration environments and am always eager to learn and adapt to new technologies and methodologies.
