I want a small, fast engineering team where I own features end to end, learn from senior engineers, and solve hard backend and automation problems. ~2 years across full-stack web (Node.js, React, Next.js, Python) and embedded C/C++. Fully remote in UTC-3, available as a contractor via Deel or Wise. Extra interest in health tech and dev tooling.

Fullstack and backend dev, ~2 years across web (Node.js, React, Python) and embedded C/C++. Co-founder of EfficienceCo, developer at Eyeconnect.
What I'm looking for
Computer Engineering student at UNIFESP with close to two years of professional experience across full-stack web development and embedded systems.
Currently a developer at Eyeconnect, a medical imaging startup, where I ship features on the production app and own the clinic-side data ingestion tooling. I built EyeAgent from scratch in Go, a service running at paying clinics that automates the path from exam completion to processed data through AWS S3 and an OCR pipeline.
I co-founded EfficienceCo, a SaaS product that automates accounting firm workflows through an autonomous local agent plus a cloud API. I built the Node.js API and the Python agent, lead three developers, and run the commercial side.
Before that I spent 11 months on embedded firmware in C and C++ for a medical device at Delta Life and a UNIFESP research group.
I work fully remote in UTC-3 and I'm available as an international contractor via Deel, Rippling or Wise. Comfortable working async in English.
