About

Professional summary

I am a product-focused Senior Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience building and scaling customer-facing web products. My work spans high-volume e-commerce checkout experiences and a nationwide real-time telemedicine platform for Portugal’s public health service.

I take end-to-end ownership of features, from backlog refinement and technical design through implementation, production rollout, and metric monitoring. I use data to validate decisions and focus on performance, usability, reliability, and measurable product outcomes.

My primary strengths are React, Next.js, TypeScript, and modern front-end architecture. I also have hands-on experience with Node.js, SQL, API integrations, and real-time communication technologies including WebRTC and WebSocket.

I have led small front-end teams, established code-review standards, mentored engineers, and partnered closely with product and design stakeholders. I enjoy simplifying complex systems, modernizing legacy applications, and improving delivery velocity.

I have worked across healthcare, e-commerce, and fintech environments. I am particularly experienced in accessible interfaces, complex workflows, testing, CI/CD practices, and high-performance web applications.

I am eager to continue growing across the full stack, including within the Java ecosystem, while contributing technical leadership and product-oriented engineering judgment.

Career history

Full Stack Engineer Capgemini Engineering

I work on a telemedicine platform for SPMS, the Portuguese Ministry of Health, enabling video consultations between doctors and citizens nationwide. I lead a team of three front-end engineers, own technical design, set code-review standards, and mentor teammates.

I improved real-time communication speed and rendering performance, increasing platform adoption by 30%. The platform supports approximately 14,000 teleconsultations annually and sustains around 1,200 video consultations per month.

I build accessible, data-heavy workflows for clinical and administrative users with React 18, Next.js, TypeScript, Redux, WebRTC, and WebSocket. I also ensure WCAG compliance and address the reliability, performance, and privacy requirements of health data.

Frontend Engineer Nuvemshop

I worked on the checkout team at Latin America’s leading e-commerce platform, supporting more than 130,000 stores and R$10 billion in annual transactions. I designed and built scalable checkout flows integrating payments, shipping, order management, and administrative functions.

I owned features end to end, including backlog refinement, technical specifications, implementation, deployment, and post-release metric monitoring. I helped migrate the legacy PHP checkout front end to React and Next.js, decoupling it from the monolith and improving team velocity.

I migrated complex forms from Formik to React Hook Form, managed application communication through backend services and Redux, and improved reliability through unit and integration testing with React Testing Library and Jest.

Software Developer (Front End) & Product Owner Vamos Parcelar

I delivered both front-end and back-end work in a fast-paced fintech startup, taking full-stack ownership of product features.

I also acted as Product Owner, managing the backlog and making prioritization trade-offs between business objectives and delivery speed. I built front-end features with Angular, JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, and Git as requirements evolved quickly.

Front-End Developer Assoweb

I built bespoke, high-performance web interfaces from scratch without pre-built themes.

My work focused on semantic HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript DOM manipulation to create tailored user experiences.

QA Tester & Front-End Developer Cast Group

I began my career in Quality Assurance and later moved to the front-end team.

I built feature prototypes using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. My QA background continues to shape my engineering approach, with a strong focus on quality, testing, and reliability.
