Transitioning from building monolithic applications for small / mid-sized companies was not easy. I had to spend almost a year on mapping and catching up with the tech stack that the industry was requiring and adapt to the micro-services / distributed systems paradigm. After working for more than a year for a large sized tech company, I shifted my goals. In the long term, I wish to qualify myself as a modern web platform architect in order to create highly available environments with development patterns that would be logical for the teams to adopt. In the short term perspective, I’d still have a long way to go, working as a full stack web developer to acquire the necessary knowledge in order to continue on my journey. As for the types of business, I have interest in well established companies that works with multiple teams and mature agile management. However, I’m also fond of small / mid-sized start-ups where we may contribute in different areas and help build our own process – very exciting. I’m in search of an opportunity where I’d be part of a multi-disciplined team, learn from each other, produce great work that we can be proud of and still have fun on the way!

I returned to Rio de Janeiro in 1993 to continue my academic trajectory. After I created my tech company, decided to move to São Paulo, were I’m living since 2013. Graduation in Industrial Design - Graphic Design by UniverCidade, former Faculdade da Cidade. The university course helped me create a basis for design methodology and design research. After completing it in 2001, I directed my interest in programming languages focused on the web environment and database structuring. Continuous study of new languages is necessary to keep up with the industry’s demands and constant tech changes. During these 20 years in the segment, I also gained marketing knowledge by working together with corporate marketing departments and agencies. The graduate course in Art Direction for Film and TV, attended in 2008, helped enrich my ability in project planning and developed my methodology for the creative area and concept consolidation. At the end of 2012, I began to evaluate the market for project development in São Paulo, as I was feeling a retraction in Rio de Janeiro’s market. Aside demands for web projects being higher, I also noticed that the city itself offered better conditions for residence, and, at the same time, Rio was beginning to show declines in life quality. So, in late 2013, I decided to move to São Paulo and work with my company, just as I had been doing in Rio. During the 2020 pandemic, with all the instability and uncertainty around how small and medium business were being affected, I decided to pivot my career towards working for tech companies instead of as a freelancer-like web services provider. It had been on my plans to do so at some point ahead. However, with the extra time available to catch up on some of the tech stack that was being required by the industry, I decided to give it a shot and, since remote working was being widely adopted, I also aimed for working internationally – US or Europe based companies. I landed a position at BairesDev, a nearshore outsourcing tech human resources, with headquarters in California as a PHP full stack web developer. The company is specialized in managing tech workforce in Latin America, so the transition was pretty smooth. They allocated me in a large Venture Capital IT company, responsible for a few worldwide known digital publishing platforms and I’m currently working in a horizontal team, for one of their businesses. My main attribute is to develop multidisciplinary works in various media and understanding of the technological requirements of each project.
