I have worked in many different layers of software development, including backend, frontend, mobile and infrastructure. My main focus is backend and I advocate code quality, readability and maintainability. I include tests on my daily development practice, along with TDD and refactoring.</p> <p>My main skill is learning, and I like to stretch it in daily challenging situations. I was lucky to have had the opportunity to join my first three jobs without knowledge of the technologies involved and have learned them. I love environments where I can grow, surrounded by smart and interesting people.</p> <p>I love to code, and more specifically, I love programming languages and paradigms. In my free time, I have experimented with many programming languages and technologies, including SML, Python, Ruby, Haskell, Scala, Go, Rust, Racket, Bash, Clojure, etc and even designed my own language. I’m also confident working with fast delivery, continuous integration and many agile ideas. I’m fluent in Portuguese and English and also a game and music enthusiast.</p> <h2 id="experience">Experience</h2> <h3 id="principal-software-developer-at-babbel">Principal Software Developer at Babbel</h3> <p><small>August 2017 - present</small></p> <p>At Babbel I help build APIs and platform support for mobile and web clients.

I’m also participating on the microservice extraction initiative, as well as helping bring the development, testing, infrastructure and interviewing practices up to date. We deal with lots of AWS services and automated infrastructure. I was a major contributor to migration of user’s vocabulary from MySql to DynamoDB.</p> <p>I also contribute to Babbel’s engineering strategy, helping teams become more autonomous and spreading knowledge about content distribution and overall architecture.
