What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on engineering role where I can lead architecture and product execution, prioritize cost-effective scalable solutions, work collaboratively with founders or product teams, and accelerate time-to-market.

I am a founding software engineer and entrepreneur with deep full-stack experience building and launching SaaS and mobile products across global markets. I lead technical strategy, architecture, and implementation with a focus on scalable, efficient systems that align with business goals.

Across projects in Brazil, Indonesia, and India I reduced development and deployment costs through thoughtful stack choices and automation, delivered early product launches, and improved user satisfaction through focused UX and integrations. I have hands-on expertise in backend APIs, cloud platforms, messaging, caching, and mobile/web front ends.

I bring a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to product engineering, strong collaboration with co-founders and stakeholders, and a track record of driving technical decisions that materially impact time-to-market and cost-efficiency.
