I am an experienced and motivated Tech Lead/Software developer with 10+ years of experience. Throughout my career, I have built and maintained high-quality user interfaces for applications with large audiences in renowned companies like Nubank, GuiaBolso, and Yara. I am skilled in streamlining operations, improving efficiency, and driving innovation. As a Tech Lead, I have successfully led cross-functional teams in the development of top crop nutritional recommendation systems. I have mentored interns and junior team members, providing guidance and support in their professional development. I have also served as a key point of contact for product-related matters, actively contributing to critical architectural decisions, backlog definitions, and the product roadmap.

In my previous roles, I have implemented modern technologies such as Apollo Federation, Gateway, and Studio to create highly efficient GraphQL services. I have utilized React, Apollo Client, and Storybook to create interactive components and visually appealing interfaces. I have collaborated closely with Design, utilizing Figma to experiment with prototypes and wireframes. I have championed an Agile approach, ensuring the team's adherence to agile principles and methodologies. I have a proven track record of delivering high-quality web products that significantly enhance visitor experience and positively impact acquisition and conversion rates. I am skilled in front-end development, website refactoring, and reducing code complexity. I have a strong focus on performance and SEO, having achieved page #1 rankings on Google Search within a few weeks. I am experienced in collaborating within diverse and cross-functional environments, partnering with business analysts, product managers, designers, data scientists, and software engineers. I am well-versed in continuous delivery and deployment using tools like Jenkins, Docker, and Amazon AWS.
