BrazilWhat I'm looking for
As a dedicated Product Engineer and Product Manager, I have a strong commitment to developing innovative solutions that empower underrepresented communities. Currently, I am freelancing on a government-backed project aimed at helping rural women connect and share knowledge through a dedicated app. My role involves organizing and prioritizing tasks for developers, ensuring that our technology effectively meets the needs of our users.
With extensive experience in full-stack development, I have worked with various technologies including TypeScript, React, and NodeJS. My tenure at Nubank, the world's largest digital bank, allowed me to enhance the scalability and performance of financial services for over 35 million customers. I successfully implemented strategies that improved latency by up to 300%, showcasing my ability to deliver high-quality solutions in fast-paced environments.
My background in software engineering, combined with my passion for social impact, drives my work in technology consultancy for non-profit organizations. I believe in the power of technology to create meaningful change, and I am excited to continue leveraging my skills to support projects that align with this vision.
