Senior Front End Engineer focused on performant, user-centered web experiences.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Front End Engineer with 5+ years building interactive, high-performance web applications using modern frameworks like React, NextJS, and Angular. I proactively lead small teams, drive cross-squad collaboration, and contribute to both frontend and backend efforts to deliver measurable product improvements.
At Consumidor Positivo I architected onboarding flows, an embeddable iframe platform with Auth0, and led a frontend rebuild that increased conversions and reduced costs while pioneering company-wide E2E testing practices. Previously, I built internal SaaS platforms at Red Ventures and single-handedly developed multilingual financial applications at Primefy, improving SEO and enabling significant payment processing.
I am a lifelong learner with strong CS fundamentals, a record of shipping scalable solutions, and a collaborative, product-focused approach that balances user experience, performance, and maintainability.
