Lead Full-Stack Engineer with 20+ years of experience, working remotely with US companies as an independent contractor since 2011. Based in Florianópolis, Brazil (GMT-3, overlaps with US East Coast business hours).
I delegate the predictable and own the consequential: I'm at my best leading small teams through ambiguous, high-stakes product work, from architecture to shipped feature.
Daily drivers: React · TypeScript · Node.js · NestJS · Go · PostgreSQL · Docker
Also fluent in: C#/.NET (15 years, former Microsoft Certified Trainer) · TanStack (Router/Query/Start) · Redis · BullMQ · Prisma · CI/CD
- 🏗️ Led engineering teams of 4–12 across three companies (formal management and tech lead roles)
- 🚀 Sole engineer on a greenfield product across 3 platforms, taken from zero to alpha
- 🔧 Self-host everything: this lets me own the full lifecycle, from Dockerfile to DNS to on-call
- 🤝 Founder of Comunidade Fuji Brasil, Brazil's largest Fujifilm photography community
- 📸 When I'm not coding, I'm probably photographing my rescue dog or a night sky
