Profile

I’ve been a web developer for more than 15 years. During my career, I’ve been participating in building excellent digital products with great team members in projects that impacted society through technology on many levels – from startups and companies at earlier stages to big companies that lead the market, like Globo.com. I’ve been working with open-source initiatives and speaking at tech events like React Advanced in London, QCon, and FISL (international open-source software forum). I’m currently working at Banking Circle in Copenhagen as a Senior Software Engineer with payment infrastructure. I’m an experienced full-stack developer with solid experience in front-end and interaction design, and I participated in end-to-end solutions.

My career has been based on learnings from different projects, so I’ve acquired knowledge of the most used programming languages, such as Javascript and their main frameworks, like React.js and React Native, as well as backend languages like Node.js, Ruby, Java, Python, PHP, relational
and nonrelational databases and trending technologies like GraphQL.

This flexibility allowed me to contribute to different open-source projects worldwide, like Electricity Map in Python, Status Messenger with Blockchain, and Bootstrap, one of the most popular front-end open-source libraries. From all of these contributions and learnings, I published the Mobile First Bootstrap book by Packt Publishing in December 2013.

I’m not just a strong professional with technical experience and expertise who loves to share my knowledge; I can make any business move forward. I have worked on my open-source project, Gitpay, a bounty platform to solve issues from projects with a growing community of global contributors. If that weren’t enough, I have lab experience with the internet of things, programming with Arduino and microcontrollers, and my automated indoor garden system. I am an early adopter of agile methodologies, and my life is a scrum board, or how do you think I can manage all of this?
