I’m a software engineer from São Paulo, Brazil with a decade of experience building systems and products with both Elixir and Ruby.

I've helped bootstrap new products, rewrite legacy codebases into new systems and build all kinds of end user features out there, and I've always had a deep interest on making software development easier through automation, development tools and monitoring.

I like to work on small engineering teams that care about the quality of their work as much as its outcome, and always want to the best work they can do.

You can find me at GitHub, Twitter or LinkedIn, and reach out via e-mail as well.

Outside of work you can find me enjoying specialty coffee, having fun with my corgi or baking some delicious deserts.

Work

Nov ‘20 to July ‘22 - Remote, Senior Software Engineer

I’ve helped Remote rapid growth through working on new features from different product areas, recruiting and onboarding new engineers and advocating for developer experience and platform stability as we expand into multiple countries and business verticals.

I worked on product areas like in app and email notification foundations, built support for 2FA authentication for all end users and rolled out SSO capabilities for customers and internal users use their own identity providers on the platform.

At Podium I’m part of the Reviews team that is responsible for the maintenance of the backend services that powers our Reviews product.

‘17 to ‘19 - Magnetis, Senior Software Engineer and Team Leader

As a Software Engineer, I’ve helped to adopt Elixir and Phoenix for new systems, improve our Kubernetes clustering setup and level up the code review practices of the engineering team.

Later, as the Team Leader of the Platform team, I worked on projects improving the integration between our product and Easynvest, while laying ground work of our own investment broker system. The team went from 2 full time engineers to 8 people working on Elixir and Kubernetes to put the new services online and Ruby to integrate with the existing user facing application.

At Plataformatec I worked on consulting projects involving greenfield development of new Ruby on Rails systems and maintenance on apps requiring new features, performance work and version upgrades. As the company grew over the years, I’ve participated on planning and execution of our recruiting expansion and the mentoring of new hires on Ruby, JavaScript and Git.

I was involved on the maintenance and ownership of the company open source libraries, Devise and Simple Form, and also had the opportunity of creating new projects like the Faraday HTTP Cache gem.

I’ve bootstraped an internal tool called Ebert that was spun into its own product, SourceLevel, working on development, infrastructure customer support for the product by myself for almost an year.
