BrazilWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Frontend and Mobile Engineer focused on React and React Native, with a strong track record of improving performance, stability, and user engagement across mobile and web products.
At Styla, I increased mobile onboarding completion from 50% to 97%, drove 35% DAU growth, and built a Next.js browser extension adopted by 3,000+ users and 1,000+ stores. I also reduced React Native memory usage by ~40% and eliminated the majority of OOM crashes through targeted optimizations.
I have taught React Native fundamentals and performance optimization to over 500 students and have hands-on experience improving web performance (95+ PageSpeed), mentoring junior engineers, and migrating codebases to TypeScript to reduce production crashes.
I bring a pragmatic, metrics-driven approach to engineering, pairing instrumentation (Mixpanel, Sentry) with careful architecture and modern toolchains to deliver reliable, high-performance user experiences.
