I am a Software Developer passionate with simple, easy growing solutions.
I have a BSc in Computer Science and have been involved with software development for 7+ years, mostly as a backend engineer.

I believe that only when different points of view and skills work together, that something good is achievable, and I enjoy being part of a small team working to create something great.

What I do

  • Build restful APIs with python and javascript web frameworks.
  • Work with distributed services for asynchronous tasks on a microservices architecture.
  • Create scripts for watching, scraping and parsing raw data to objects.
  • Backend and design integration, with frontend javascript frameworks.
  • Work with a continuous integration environment.
  • Use cloud services for deploying and monitoring projects.
  • Packaging applications, from requirements to containers.
  • Scripts for development and deployment tasks.
  • Create automated tests.
  • Use best practices, architectures and design patterns.

What I Use

  • Python, Django (DRF), Celery, Tornado, Twisted
  • Javascript, Node.js, Angular, jQuery, Gulp
  • Nginx, RabbitMQ, Docker
  • Redis, MongoDB
  • Jenkins, TravisCI, API Blueprint
  • Linux, Git

  • Social Networks and others third party APIs

What I Like

Being part of a team of people with different skillsets, creating a product well built in all bases.

Work with more experienced people, learning while working, as well as passing what I’ve learned to others.

A well managed project, with defined tasks and estimatives, but with room for changes and quick responses.

Brainstorms and meetings to discuss about the product as a whole.

Refactoring a big chunk of code into something less complex, more generic and simple to use.

I also enjoy photography, hiking/camping, cooking, music, games and to ride my bike to work everyday.
