What I'm looking for

I'm looking to modernize web platforms, improve frontend performance, evolve legacy architectures, and lead technical delivery while mentoring developers.

At PagBank, I designed a backoffice management system that reduced product-launch effort from days or hours to minutes, and built a BFF layer to simplify data delivery across internal services.

I've spent more than 10 years modernizing legacy systems, improving frontend performance through Web Vitals analysis, and building web applications across fintech, payments, healthcare, and consulting. At Compass.uol, I helped shape a design system, led technical delivery for 20+ campaigns and 5+ products, and supported the stability and evolution of the company’s main website.

Earlier, I reduced hospital appointment cancellations by nearly 20% and led a six-engineer team while establishing a CI/CD workflow adopted by four other teams.
