About Me

Developer passionate about creating innovative solutions

React Native experience

I've been building Android and iOS apps with React Native since 2018, with complete full-cycle expertise — from the app to the backend. Deep experience with native modules in Kotlin, Swift, and Objective-C, ensuring real native performance and integration on both platforms.

Backend and architecture

Full-stack development with Node.js, building REST and real-time APIs using WebSockets and Socket.io, documented with Swagger. Databases with PostgreSQL, Redis, and MongoDB. Full implementation of the OCPP 1.6/2.0 protocol for electric charging station management and a WebRTC signaling server for real-time P2P communication. Deployments with Docker, AWS Fargate, and serverless solutions with Firebase Functions.

Track record and impact

With 8 years of experience, I delivered high-performance, scalable solutions across multiple sectors — mobility, health, social, payments, and IoT — with highlights including the "Masonic Lodges of Goias" app, a major milestone in my journey.

Why my apps stand out

  • ✅ Comprehensive testing with Jest and React Native Testing Library
  • 📱 Real-world validation via TestFlight and Google Play
  • 📊 Monitoring with Firebase Analytics, Crashlytics, and Sentry
  • 🔒 Secure architecture with end-to-end encryption and best practices
  • ⚡ Optimized performance with WatermelonDB, Redux Toolkit, and RTK Query

Design and Frontend

Specialized in turning Figma and Adobe XD designs into clean, user-centered interfaces. Experience with NativeWind, Styled-Components, GlueStack, and Material-UI — always focused on accessibility and smooth UX.

State management

Advanced use of Redux Toolkit and RTK Query for performance, smart caching, and efficient data control — including offline synchronization with WatermelonDB.

Deploy and automation

Full build and release automation with Fastlane (Android and iOS), including automatic versioning, changelogs, internal testing, and CI/CD pipeline integration.
