What I'm looking for

I’m looking for Software Engineer challenges where I can apply my systemic vision, fast learning ability, and commitment to clean code, scalability, and innovation—building end-to-end solutions with strong technical ownership.

I’m a Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience developing end-to-end digital solutions, from early PHP web systems to microservices architecture in Node.js with TypeScript. I work across front-end, back-end, and cloud infrastructure, with a strong focus on clean code, scalability, and innovation.

In my recent role at Aprova Digital (GovTech), I designed and developed fullstack solutions using Angular and Node.js/TypeScript microservices with NestJS and Fastify on AWS Lambda. I also implemented asynchronous messaging with RabbitMQ, SNS, and SQS for application events like document generation and data indexing, collaborating closely with the product team to refine technical requirements.

As a sole technical lead, I’ve had the autonomy to make architectural decisions, deliver business value, and optimize costs—building from scratch React front-ends and React Native apps alongside Node.js/GraphQL back-ends. I’m especially proud of work like migrating a process/search system to PostgreSQL (reducing costs by 80% and eliminating performance complaints) and building a NestJS + RabbitMQ solution for immutable dispatch traceability.
