About

Professional summary

I am a Senior / Lead iOS Engineer with more than eight years of experience building scalable, high-performance mobile applications. My primary expertise is in Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, Combine, and modern iOS architecture patterns including MVVM, VIPER, and Clean Architecture.

I have led feature teams, owned technical architecture and release management, and collaborated with product, backend, QA, analytics, marketing, and design stakeholders across distributed global teams. I enjoy translating complex product and business needs into reliable, maintainable mobile experiences.

My industry experience includes fintech, digital payments, e-commerce, cybersecurity SDKs, white-label applications, EV charging, and marketing technology. I have contributed to consumer applications, reusable SDKs, design systems, and mobile platforms serving millions of users worldwide.

I have a strong focus on mobile quality and delivery practices, including TDD, unit and snapshot testing, code review, shift-left QA, CI/CD automation, modularization, performance optimization, and memory management. I am experienced with Fastlane, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, CircleCI, Bamboo, and Bitrise.

I also work with AI-assisted engineering workflows, including Cursor, Claude, Model Context Protocol, custom LLM skills, and automated AI code review. I am interested in using these tools responsibly to improve design-to-code collaboration, engineering consistency, and delivery speed.

I am based in Brazil and open to global remote opportunities as a LATAM-based contractor. I bring hands-on iOS delivery experience as well as leadership, mentoring, architecture ownership, and cross-functional communication skills.
