Recife, PE, Brazil · Remote worldwide
I wrote my first line of code when I was 13 and never stopped.
I am a Software Engineer from Brazil with 10+ years of experience building web platforms, backend services, REST APIs, CMS platforms, dashboards, and automation. I started by creating online communities and later moved into enterprise platforms, banking systems, serverless services, and high-traffic gaming projects.
Today, my main focus is backend and full-stack development with Node.js and TypeScript, supported by AWS, React, PHP, relational databases, Docker, and CI/CD. I enjoy modernizing legacy systems, designing reliable APIs, and turning complex requirements into maintainable solutions.
Agentic development is also part of my engineering workflow. I combine Prompt and Context Engineering, Spec-Driven Development, and AI coding agents to accelerate planning, implementation, refactoring, documentation, and code review while maintaining ownership of architecture and code quality.
I am currently pursuing a postgraduate degree in DevOps & Cloud Platform Engineering with AI, expanding my experience in cloud infrastructure, automation, observability, and platform engineering.
