What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale e-commerce platforms and distributed systems, contributing hands-on to architecture, delivery, reliability, and technical leadership.

I've built composable e-commerce platforms at Chalhoub Group and microservices-based products at Machinarium, spanning storefronts, admin applications, order management, customer data, and content platforms.

At Chalhoub Group, I helped build a platform first used by a global high-end audio brand and later adopted across regions and languages. I also led an 8-member core team supporting shared functionality for 15 luxury brands and more than 50 multilingual websites.

I stay hands-on across Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, GraphQL, React, Next.js, AWS, GCP, Kubernetes, Terraform, and CI/CD. I build reliable payment, checkout, search, asynchronous processing, and testing workflows for distributed systems.
