Lucas Alves dos Santos
Full stack developer
Skilled software engineer and product-focused leader with a passion for transforming complex business challenges into high-quality, user-centric solutions. I have a proven track record of leading impactful projects using technologies like React.js, Node.js, NestJS, and GraphQL. My expertise goes beyond just writing code; I focus on architecting robust systems, solving deep-seated technical problems, and translating business strategy into a clear technical vision.
Throughout my career, I have successfully guided cross-functional teams to deliver exceptional value. By turning ambiguous backlogs into clear roadmaps and fostering close collaboration between engineering, product, and UX, I ensure projects not only meet technical standards but also achieve key business goals. My ability to identify and resolve core architectural and logical issues has been crucial in unblocking teams and delivering successful outcomes.
I draw constant inspiration from industry leaders like Martin Fowler and Robert C. Martin ("Uncle Bob"), with works like Clean Code and Clean Architecture shaping my technical philosophy. This commitment to craftsmanship and continuous learning allows me to stay at the forefront of best practices and build solutions that are both effective and maintainable.
Beyond my technical skills, I excel at communicating complex ideas to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, ensuring alignment and a shared vision. I firmly believe that taking the time to understand the true nature of a problem before building is the key to delivering elegant solutions and achieving the highest standards of quality.

As a Software Engineer, I specialize in transforming complex business challenges into intuitive, high-impact user experiences. With a foundation in full-stack development, I bridge the gap between technical implementation and strategic goals, leading projects that not only solve problems but also deliver measurable value.
My experience is centered on leading customer-facing initiatives, from completely overhauling dashboards to re-architecting core systems for 10x scalability. I thrive on untangling complex backlogs, identifying deep-seated logic issues, and aligning cross-functional teams (Product, UX, Stakeholders) around a unified technical vision. Colleagues recognize me for my deep understanding of business impact, my proactive leadership in stakeholder discussions, and my unique expertise in creating polished, modern front-end solutions.
I am passionate about building not just features, but foundational improvements—whether it's contributing reusable components to a design library or architecting a system that unlocks entirely new business channels.

My goal was to optimize a massive CI/CD environment across 5 Jenkins instances, where I discovered a critical blind spot preventing the tracking of stuck jobs and agents. This issue was causing significant inefficiencies and unnecessary cloud spending.
As the solution, I built a backend data acquisition system using Node.js, NestJS, and SQL Server. This automated the collection and analysis of operational data, giving the data team the insights needed to resolve bottlenecks. The project directly contributed to reducing stuck deployments and achieving a significant decrease in overall cloud costs.

Working in the self-serve team to make the application increasingly easy for the customer to be able to configure their settings in an easy and intuitive way. We use cutting edge technologies like React.js, Redux, NestJS, RxJS, Typescript and GraphQL. A major achievement within the company was that I achieved a huge improvement in unit test coverage and worked on implementing E2E and integration tests.
