Leonardo Vilela

I’m a full-stack engineer with 3+ years shipping production web applications using React, Node.js, and PHP/Laravel. I focus on practical delivery and measurable outcomes, including 40%+ infrastructure cost reduction, 50% automation of manual workflows, and building a 0-to-1 SaaS platform end to end.

I’m the creator and maintainer of PointsControl, a live loyalty management SaaS where I acted as sole architect, developer, and operator. I built and maintain the stack with Laravel, Livewire, and MySQL, and I’m currently rebuilding it using Node.js, Next.js, and React deployed on Vercel—while handling CI/CD via GitHub Actions and VPS infrastructure with Cloudflare DDoS protection.

In recent roles, I modernized legacy systems and improved performance and UX. At CRS No Fake, I migrated legacy cloud integrations to a database-driven architecture (cutting infrastructure costs by 40%+), improved React rendering performance (raising average session duration by 10%), and led a frontend modernization from jQuery/Bootstrap to modular ES6+ and reusable React components.

Beyond engineering, my background as a university professor and course coordinator strengthens how I work with stakeholders and teams. I’ve owned full lifecycle delivery—from requirements and database design to business logic and feature development—such as building the SGJ HINOVA judicial process management platform from 0 to 1 and integrating with public CNJ APIs for automated case retrieval and synchronization.
