ABOUT ME
10+ experienced React.js developer
10+ experienced React.js developer

Senior Frontend Engineer with 17+ years of experience building and modernizing revenue-critical software systems. I specialize in React and React Native applications that power high-traffic user experiences, with a strong focus on performance, architecture, and business impact.

Currently working on large-scale lodging search systems responsible for the majority of company revenue, where I’ve led initiatives that reduced first content latency by 75% and decreased overall search time by 2 seconds through progressive rendering, state refactoring, and frontend performance optimization.

I operate with an ownership mindset — from technical design (DTD/PTD) through rollout, bug bash coordination, observability validation, and production support. I focus on solving business problems, not just shipping features.

I strongly adopt AI-assisted development (Cursor, Claude, LLM tooling) to:

  • Accelerate refactoring of complex React components
  • Explore architectural alternatives safely
  • Improve TypeScript rigor and test scaffolding
  • Reduce delivery cycle time while maintaining engineering oversight

Core strengths:

  • React.js & React Native (Expo)
  • Frontend architecture & performance optimization
  • Progressive rendering & state management (Zustand, Redux legacy migration)
  • Experimentation & observability (Amplitude, Datadog)
  • Cross-platform feature parity (web & mobile)
  • Tech debt reduction & sustainable modernization

Fluent in English and Portuguese.

Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.

I work on the hotel search experience, the company’s core service, owning initiatives from technical design through production rollout across React (web) and React Native (Expo).

  • Reduced first content render latency by 75% by redesigning progressive result rendering, enabling users to see property details before pricing data completes.
  • Reduced overall search time by 2 seconds through client-side performance optimizations, state refactoring, and render minimization.
  • Led large-scale Search Results Page refactors, modernizing React architecture and simplifying complex filtering and state logic in a high-traffic user flow.
  • Implemented foundational changes to search result behavior and availability handling, aligning UX improvements with safe rollout strategies.
  • Designed reusable frontend infrastructure (shared components and internal validation tooling) to eliminate duplication and reduce regression risk.
  • Strengthened experimentation reliability by auditing and implementing accurate Amplitude and Datadog metrics for revenue-critical features.
  • Regularly led bug bashes and independently executed production hotfixes during high-visibility release windows.
  • Advocated frontend modernization initiatives, including improved TypeScript rigor and gradual migration away from legacy state management patterns.
  • Leverage AI-assisted development (Cursor, Claude, LLM tooling) to accelerate refactoring, improve test scaffolding, explore architectural alternatives, and reduce delivery cycle time — always with engineering oversight.
