I build cloud-native web systems and improve software quality through Agile, TDD, and engineering leadership.

What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and improve web systems with teams that value Agile practices, strong architecture, automated testing, TDD, quality gates, and continuous improvement.

At Maxeda DIY Group, I led the formation of a new Agile software development team that became fully operational in under three months, even during the forced shift to remote work.

I improve service stability by reducing technical debt, monitoring systems, and applying SRE practices. I work in a cloud-native AWS environment using Java, Spring, JavaScript, React, and Node.js, with a strong focus on automated testing and TDD.

Previously, I co-founded Cachalotes, a remote consultancy building digital products and solution designs for health organizations. I also delivered customized solutions as a Solutions Architect at IOS Informática, where I recruited 20 developers and helped develop six interns into skilled professionals.

Across Java, PHP, and web-development teams, I’ve introduced CI pipelines, Jenkins, Sonar quality gates, Docker, Agile practices, Coding Dojos, and TDD training. I enjoy helping teams adopt stronger architecture and software-craft practices.
