CURRICULUM VITAE
INTRODUCE ABOUT ME
I’m a software engineer and engineering leader who focuses on one core principle: delivering the maximum value for the investment a company makes in its engineering team. I specialize in optimizing development processes, designing scalable web architectures, and building highly productive teams.
My background includes extensive experience with JavaScript and TypeScript ecosystems, working with frameworks such as Angular, Vue, React, and SolidJS, as well as designing micro-services and micro-frontend architectures (mono repo). I have led initiatives to build enterprise-grade front-end platforms that prioritize performance, scalability, maintainability, security, and SEO. I also have experience developing APIs and system architectures within micro-services environments.
Beyond technical expertise, I enjoy mentoring engineers, strengthening team productivity, and solving complex technical challenges. I’m always exploring related technologies such as Go, Python, Solidity, and Next.js to expand my architectural perspective.
I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience could contribute to your team’s success.
