Tech Lead · Senior Full Stack Developer

Hi, I'm Vitor.
I build systems companies trust.

For almost 10 years I've turned business needs into software that works at scale. Today I lead the engineering team of one of Latin America's largest public-sector oversight platforms.

How I help

From business problem to system in production.

I work between the people who decide and the people who build: I understand the goal, design the solution and lead the delivery.

  • Technical leadership

    I coordinate developers, review code and align scope, deadlines and expectations with decision makers.

  • End-to-end systems

    From database to screen: web and mobile applications ready for production, with automated tests.

  • Architecture and integrations

    I design how the system is organized and connect what already exists: legacy systems, APIs and external services.

Featured projects

Products I built from scratch.

Beyond the code

Quality delivered remotely, wherever I am.

Travelling is my favourite hobby. Every new place teaches me to communicate across people and cultures, and I bring that to remote work with teams in Brazil and abroad.
