ABOUT ME
Senior Full Stack Engineer
Senior Full Stack Engineer
I'm a senior frontend engineer with over a decade of experience building robust, high-quality web and mobile applications. I specialize in React and JavaScript, with deep expertise in React Native, GraphQL, and scalable architecture. My broad technical background — from SDK development to cross-platform apps — allows me to deliver fast without compromising on quality.
Over the years, I’ve led both projects and teams, taking products from concept to production in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. I’ve built entire platforms solo, mentored other developers, and collaborated with cross-functional teams across time zones. Whether I’m architecting a system, optimizing performance, or shipping pixel-perfect UIs, I focus on creating clean, maintainable code that drives real business value.
TL;DR: I’m a highly dependable engineer who ships fast, leads effectively, and builds with excellence.

I've been a React enthusiast from the beginning and I work with it on a daily basis on both professional/personal projects. I’ve developed multiple React projects being responsible for every aspect of the application. I can easily create, build and deploy a React project. I’m also very experienced in integrating routing mechanisms, state management (like Redux) and creating or integrating SDKs. I'm also experienced with application deployment and server configuration as well as with integrating with CI/CD platforms.

Following my experience with React, I soon started to also develop mobile applications with React-Native. I started on version 0.30 and started following the continuous development of this platform. Through this process, I learned the strengths and pains of this tool making capable of detailing what can or can’t be done beforehand. I’ve worked on diverse projects that make use of different device resources and capabilities. I’ve worked on navigation, device access features (like camera, contacts, phone), on security features (like enabling Touch and Face identification), integration with REST and GraphQL APIs (among many other aspects). I’m also experienced in the process of bundling and generating releases as well as integration with CI platforms for automatic builds and releases (like AppCenter).

For the past few years, I've been involved in with projects that relied on GraphQL using Relay/Apollo. I can easily integrate with such APIs and create or adapt applications to properly work with this APIs query tool.

A few years ago, I've switched to the javascript ecosystem and never went back. Following the actual trend, I code every javascript project in es6 using Babel to build and run it. That applies to both Node.js backend/API applications as well as frontend applications on React or AngularJS.
Regarding Node.js development alone, I've created multiple apps, servers, and APIS using tools like Express, Koa.js or Hapi.js.
To build assets I've started with Grunt, moved to Gulp and now just use webpack to develop and created production class assets.
Lastly, I'm naturally experienced with NPM, yarn or lerna which are tools necessary to install and manage the necessary set of packages used to build an entire application.

AngularJS was my initial framework of choice when started developing frontend applications. Having stopped on version 1.5, I don't work with this framework actively but I would be able to maintain (or even develop) an entire application written in AngularJS since I still know most of its strengths, limitations and tricks.

Being a frontend developer means that you have to be able to build and create beautiful and well-organized layouts. Since I've worked with several agencies, I was able to gain experience in transforming static and detailed designs into usable and responsive applications.
This way, I worked with HTML5 and web standards, good old CSS and the shiny css modules or even using SASS/LESS for large and complex projects.

As a freelance engineer, I’ve led end-to-end development on web and mobile products across industries — from fintech to social and beauty platforms. I've worn many hats: architect, engineer, integrator, and problem-solver.
React Native Expertise:
- Developed and launched fully functional React Native apps for iOS and Android — from architecture and navigation to custom UI components.
- Deep experience with native modules: built and integrated custom iOS/Android libraries when off-the-shelf solutions didn’t cut it.
- Handled complex upgrades across major RN versions, ensuring compatibility with dependencies, plugins, and build tools.
- Optimized bundling and distribution pipelines (via Bitrise, Fastlane, and manual configs) to streamline releases and reduce app size.
Key Projects:
- 📱 Built a location-based mobile social platform (like TikTok) from scratch — complete with video sharing, real-time content feeds, and API integrations. Owned the full dev cycle, including deployment to App Store and Google Play.
- 📊 Created a financial dashboard and automated reporting system for a fintech client. The platform reduced onboarding time by ~35% and gave execs real-time visibility into performance data.
- 📈 Developed a React-based marketing dashboard with custom analytics and campaign tools. Delivered real-time customer insights, boosting campaign engagement and conversion rates.
Beyond code, I’ve led product planning, worked closely with stakeholders, and delivered production-ready software under tight deadlines. I thrive in dynamic environments and bring a builder’s mindset to every challenge.

Developed the web/mobile application integrated on a platform for the beauty sector. The app design copycatted the Uber Eats application where a user could search, book or pay a given service in a list of selected hairdressers and other beauty salons/services. The apps were developed in React/React Native with the integration with a GraphQL API featuring also the integration with a booking system and Stripe Payment gateway
