Full Stack Developer

With over 5 years of experience in web development, including blockchain-related projects, AI agent development (LLMs), static sites, and complex systems-integration and manufacturing projects.

I can help bring your idea to life — dashboards, integrations with sales platforms and with AI — and I am always open to new challenges. I can also join an ongoing project or even fix that issue left behind in your vibe-coding project!

I hold a degree in Control & Automation Engineering from Pitágoras and a postgraduate degree in Distributed Software Architecture from PUC Minas. Solid experience with TypeScript, Node.js, NestJS, LLMs, React, Next.js, C# and .NET.

Career

Experience

Jun 2024 — Present

Software Architect & Full Stack Developer

Freelancer

As a freelancer, I worked on independent projects across different sectors, taking ownership from architecture to deployment. I built high-performance landing pages focused on SEO and conversion, admin panels for lead management and analytics, and SaaS platforms with real-time dashboards and metrics systems for digital products. In the Web3 space, I developed launch platforms with crypto wallet integration (RainbowKit, Wagmi), Hyperliquid network connectivity, NFT galleries, and Firebase-based whitelist systems. I also wrote smart contracts in Solidity and built integrations with multiple blockchains for DeFi platforms. Across these projects, I worked with React, Next.js, Astro, NestJS, TypeScript, Firebase, Solidity, and Tailwind CSS — always focused on user experience, performance, and scalability.
