Professional

I'm a brazilian computer-scientist who had the opportunity to be mentored by great leaders and software architects.

I've been working with high availability APIs, financial systems and online payment processing for about 5 years, as well as building efficient and reliable accounting platforms. I also have experience in the telecom industry, with mobility management services.

My favourite programming language is Elixir and have professional experience with Erlang, Haskell, PHP, NodeJS, C#. I have mastered SQL.

As a Clean Code advocate and admirer of transparent and verifiable software, my objectives are inspiring and connecting ambitious people into building successful projects.

Personal

Computer games and tv shows addicted, but I'm also a big lover of going to the beach and relaxing by the nature :)
