Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil
I'm a full-stack engineer and technical leader with 15+ years of experience building SaaS platforms and MVPs from the ground up, often as the sole or lead developer, and frequently as acting CTO. I work across the entire tech stack and product lifecycle: architecture, infrastructure, frontend/backend development, deployment pipelines, and third-party integrations. I've led teams, navigated trade-offs under startup constraints, and built products that shipped fast and delivered real business value. Recent highlights: * [Current] Lead Full Stack Engineer & Acting CTO at an early-stage startup, owning all things tech: system architecture, infrastructure, full-stack development, DevOps, and rapid product iteration. * Founder & Engineer of Pra Onde Vou, an AI-powered travel recommendation engine that went from concept to production in 2 months using React, Node.js, and OpenAI APIs. * Co-founder & CTO of Ideia no Ar, a SaaS marketplace builder where I led a cross-functional team, set the technical vision, and architected a scalable multi-tenant platform used by hundreds of small businesses. I move fast, think long-term, and thrive where ownership matters most. Whether building solo or leading a team, I focus on clean and scalable systems that solve real problems.
Sole technical contributor leading all aspects of development and infrastructure for an early-stage startup. Responsible for architectural decisions, full-stack development, DevOps, and setting the technical direction. Functionally acting as CTO.
"Where To Go" was a pet project. Me and my wife went from idea to prototyping based on our own needs as frequent tourists. I continued from there, creating the user interface, building the front-end and back-end, also devising the whole system in-between, which makes heavy use of AI to register places to visit, write a summary and make recommendations for each place. We went from idea to "market" in about 2 months. https://praondevou.com
As a CTO, I helped realize the company's vision by leading the team in building a high-performance SaaS platform with complex features and multiple integrations. I attracted talent, recruited, and managed a multidisciplinary team. I also contributed technically to the development of the platform.
Specialized in full-stack software development for startups, with a focus on creating Minimum Viable Products (MVPs). My responsibilities extended to defining the software architecture for each project, establishing patterns and practices for the team, conducting code reviews and mentoring team members. I collaborated closely with clients to gather requirements and validate them with end-users, concentrating on delivering high-value features with cost-effective solutions.
I led over 60 MVP projects for startups, including some for international clients in English, honing my cross-cultural communication skills. My role involved customer service, requirements gathering, and managing a blend of remote contractors and in-house staff. I was able to integrate diverse teams and navigate the complexities of a global, virtual work environment, ensuring successful project execution and delivery.
Developed Agennda platform, a service provider marketplace, in my first startup venture. Gained key technical and business insights. Responsibilities included business process mapping, user interface development, platform architecture, and cloud infrastructure deployment and monitoring.
I developed a website's product search engine (using Apache Lucene), which had to be intelligent in dealing with typos, predicting customers' search intent and returning a relevant result regardless of the search terms. Consulting, architecture and development of web applications, for clients such as Corpo Perfeito and Body Genics (Galgrin Group). Corpo Perfeito was the largest retailer of dietary supplements in Brazil, responsible for fulfilling the entire line of dietary supplements for B2W (Lojas Americanas, Shoptime).
