Software engineer building high-performance web and mobile applications with scalable architectures.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a software engineer focused on building high-performance web and mobile applications using TypeScript, Go, React and Node.js. I design scalable architectures, build robust APIs, and create reusable UI components to deliver seamless user experiences at scale.
At Mercado Libre I contributed to the Balance and Transactions section of a mobile app serving 35M+ monthly users, improved API response times with cache-aside patterns, refactored legacy services to reduce latency, and implemented observability with DataDog and Grafana. Previously at Avanade I worked as a full-stack engineer on a large-scale mobile banking application serving 30M+ monthly users, adding Redis caching, optimizing database queries, and integrating Kibana and automated tests.
I bring a pragmatic focus on clean, maintainable code, distributed systems, caching strategies, and monitoring. I actively participate in on-call rotations and emphasize reliability, performance, and engineering practices that impact millions of users.
