Teresina, PI - Brazil · Open to worldwide remote contracts (UTC-3)
Executive Summary
I am a software engineer focused on delivering business value through clean architecture, maintainable code, and high developer velocity.
In the Python landscape, I specialize in Django, Django REST Framework, FastAPI, and next-gen developer tooling like uv for blazingly fast dependency management. On the client side, I leverage TypeScript to ensure end-to-end type safety and smooth user experiences.
I am a strong advocate of "Learning in Public": continuously documenting architectural decisions, performance benchmarks, and production lessons in technical deep dives and study notes.
