Gabriel A.

Timezone: Brasilia (UTC-3)

Summary

I specialize in Typescript, NextJS, NodeJS, React, and Postgres, as well as the ecosystems surrounding these technologies.

I am a software developer with over fifteen years of experience. I have worked with agencies, startups, and large companies in industries ranging from entertainment to government. As a long-time freelance consultant, I've been exposed to a plethora of different codebases and I can quickly dive deep into complex environments and tasks.

As someone highly engaged in the startup scene and business in general, I consider myself a product-oriented developer who strives for helping my team to grow efficiently by balancing product development alongside controlled long-term tech debt, optimal developer experience and culture.

I've more than 400 jobs and 200+ 5-star reviews as a consultant/mentor on https://www.codementor.io/@gabrielalmeida. They mostly look like this:

"Best mentor, I've worked with. Gabriel's skillset is on another level. Always great working with him!"

"More than being a great developer, Gabriel is a wonderful mentor. His invaluable advice helped me to understand my needs in web development better than ever. I highly recommend him to anyone needs help to make their projects better."

"Quality resource. Gabriel know's his way around code in his area of expertise. I did very detailed debugging with him, and he is not the type that gives up."
