About me
I am a software developer with a career of more than 8 years. My journey began by exploring diverse technologies and platforms, and over the years, I have focused on web and mobile development, with an emphasis on React Native, ReactJS, NextJS, and this ecosystem. During my initial years, I worked as a MEAN Stack developer, contributing to comprehensive projects that varied in complexity and scalability. My passion is deeply rooted in frontend and mobile development, where my expertise spans Javascript, Typescript, state management, REST and GraphQL concepts, Firebase, a touch of Flutter, and much more. I also enjoy backend with NodeJS.
I hold a degree in Internet Systems. Currently, I am dedicated to deepening my understanding of programming design patterns and rendering strategies, with the aim of further enhancing my skills. I'm also learning AI.
To ensure quality and efficient collaboration, I adhere to version control practices such as Git Flow on Github, and I have experience with agile methodologies and automated testing.
In summary, my ongoing pursuit of growth drives me to embrace innovative challenges and continue evolving as a professional. I am passionate about coding, relish a good cup of coffee, and remain endlessly curious about the Javascript ecosystem. I am always prepared to tackle new challenges and keep progressing!

Cabe no Meu Bolso
December 2019My first app published on the Play Store. Its idea is to help purchases that need to follow a fixed budget. For example, given a shopping list, I can spend $ 400. At the time of purchase, I need to do the math to ensure that the total does not exceed that amount. In addition, I need to know if I can place more items or larger quantities of a particular item. This idea came from a personal need, and I thought that it could help some people who can go through this too. Built with React Native, Redux, Styled Components, RealmDB, and other technologies from this ecosystem.
