Computer Science graduate from PUC Minas with experience delivering production software in Brazil, Portugal, and the United States.
I focus on web applications, backend APIs, database design, and the delivery details that keep software reliable in production.
My experience includes full-stack work across React, Next.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Java SpringBoot, and event-driven backend services.
Web applications, APIs, and database-backed systems shipped in production.
Backend-heavy delivery with React frontends, APIs, and data modeling.
Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Java Frameworks: Node.js, NestJS, Express, Spring Boot, React, Next.js Databases: PostgreSQL, DynamoDB, MongoDB Cloud & DevOps: AWS, Lambda, Serverless, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD APIs: REST, GraphQL, WebSockets Testing: Jest, Cypress, Unit, Integration & E2E Testing Architecture: Microservices, DDD, TDD, SOLID, Clean Code Tools: Git, GitHub Actions, Scrum
English, Portuguese – All professional proficiency or above

I build web applications with a strong backend focus, usually working on APIs, data modeling, and the parts of the stack that keep products stable and maintainable.
I graduated in computer science at PUC Minas, and I also worked on academic research in urban mobility and vehicular networks while at the university.
I prefer clear boundaries, observability, and code that makes the next change easier instead of harder.
My strongest work has been in projects where I owned implementation details, API and Database design, and delivery from idea to production.
