What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can contribute to impactful projects and grow my technical leadership skills.

I am a software engineer with over 10 years of experience in developing digital products, specializing in AI-powered web applications. I hold dual citizenship in Italy and Brazil and am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Italian. Currently based in Turin, Italy, I have a strong background in leading teams and projects, ensuring high-quality deliverables.

In my recent role as Lead Frontend Engineer at EsgMax, I oversee the design, development, and maintenance of user interfaces and web applications. My collaborative approach with product and design teams helps translate product requirements into scalable and performant frontend solutions. I have also founded and led LiraEdu, a corporate education web application, where I was responsible for its architecture and user engagement improvements.
