about me

Building the web for 20+ years

I'm a Senior Frontend Developer with over two decades of experience crafting high-performance, pixel-perfect web applications. Currently at Webflow, building new features for the AI Assistant Chat.

My journey started in 2000 as a web designer, evolving through roles spanning full-stack development, UI/UX design, and 3D animation. This diverse background gives me a comprehensive perspective on managing the full lifecycle of web products.

I specialized in React and TypeScript, with deep expertise in frontend architectures, Next.js, and scalable state management. I've led teams, mentored junior developers, and delivered complex e-commerce systems and real-time applications.

Fluent speaker in Portuguese (native) and English (professional) — I navigate multicultural environments and global teams seamlessly.
