About

Fullstack engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable products — from fintechs to desktop tools and AI-powered applications. Primary focus on frontend (React, Angular, Next.js) with strong backend skills (Node.js, NestJS, Java). I've worked with distributed teams across Brazil, Mexico, Argentina and Spain, delivering B2C and B2B products for credit, vehicle financing and operational management. A recent highlight: Go web crawlers that cut data processing time from 15 hours to 5 minutes.

Product

I've worked on B2C and B2B platforms for fintechs, banks and startups — from BNPL and payroll lending to large-scale incident management.

Engineering

I work across frontend, backend and desktop. I build APIs, microfrontends, native apps and automations, picking the right tool for each problem.

Experimentation

I design and ship AI tools, automations and macOS apps — always in short cycles with concrete results.
