Senior mobile engineer specializing in scalable, high-performance React Native apps for iOS and Android.
BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Mobile Engineer with 7+ years building scalable, high-performance iOS and Android applications using React Native, working with international clients and FinTech startups. I focus on code quality, security, and delivering user-centric mobile solutions while optimizing complex UI rendering and global state management.
I have architected and implemented maintainable, scalable features for North American markets, collaborated directly with US stakeholders, and reduced technical debt by refactoring legacy components into reusable hooks. I drove performance optimizations (audio/video players, FlatList rendering) and established CI/CD pipelines and automated testing practices that increased code coverage substantially.
My background includes strong security-focused contributions, integrating Firebase (Auth, Firestore, Crashlytics), implementing feature flagging and dynamic updates, and acting as a security analyst within mobile teams. I bring a pragmatic, test-driven approach and a commitment to maintainability and developer ergonomics.
