// dev from the real world

I build beautiful interfaces and stable systems.
Yes, you can have both.

Clean code, delivery without corporate theater and zero excuse of "the environment broke". If the problem is real, I solve it.

If your project needs someone who…

…understands business, writes decent code and doesn't turn a simple task into a corporate saga, then we have real chances of getting along.

Fix systems nobody wants to touch
Legacy code recognizes me from a distance. Usually by the noise I make.
Build systems without artistic overcomplification
Fast, functional and built to operate. No useless modules just to inflate the budget.
Make websites that look expensive
Strong visuals, clean experience and that detail the Canva nephew doesn't deliver.
Integrate temperamental APIs
No documentation, weird responses and creative authentication? Familiar territory.
Think results, not just pretty screens
Pretty layout impresses. Conversion and consistent use pays the bills.
Apps that work in the real world
Fast, intuitive and stable. Even on the client's tired Android they swear is brand new.

Projects that
left the theory.

No tutorial CRUDs or Vibe Coding projects (nothing against). Each project here solved a real business problem, with measurable results.

Cartfy - E-commerce SaaS
A platform that lets users create a complete online store and sell through WhatsApp. Manage products, stock, coupons and customers in a simple yet powerful platform.
→ Purchases completed in just a few clicks directly on WhatsApp, reducing cart abandonment and giving customers a simple, fast way to buy without downloading an app.
PHP MySQL JavaScript Bootstrap
Runtrack - Street Running System
Real-time timing, automatic ranking and complete athlete management. From registration to podium, no Excel spreadsheet suffering in between.
→ Ranking updated in real time: athlete crosses the finish line and can instantly check their position, time and category. More agility, transparency and less chaos at results time.
PHP MySQL JavaScript WebSocket Bootstrap
Made in Itarema - Tourism & Local Commerce App
Connects local restaurants and businesses in Itarema with customers via mobile app. iFood never made it here, so I built a local solution that meets the demand and strengthens the city's commerce.
→ Brings digital visibility to dozens of local businesses, connecting merchants with new customers every day and strengthening the city's economy.
React Native Node.js MongoDB Tailwind CSS
Booking System - Chalés Refúgio nas Montanhas
Platform built to increase direct bookings for a tourist chalet property. The customer picks dates, simulates stay costs in real time and finalizes the booking directly on WhatsApp. The owner gets a full admin panel to edit prices, descriptions, create promotional coupons and manage content without depending on third parties.
→ Automated bookings, reduced manual customer service and more direct conversions with no platform commission fees.
HTML5 Bootstrap JavaScript Supabase

Journey
without the fluff.

The kind where each phase left real learning, technical calluses and actual deliveries.

2021
Started building WordPress sites
First clients, first urgent demands and the beginning of the relationship between tight deadlines and coffee.
2022
Went all-in on programming
Self-taught, intensive courses, certifications and the discovery that Google and YouTube also teach a lot (GPT was still getting famous).
2023
Tried college. Preferred my own pace.
Quickly figured out that learning on my own produced more than waiting for the next slide.
2024
First official opportunity as a dev
Joined Fretador. React Native, Node.js and Next.js. Real production, real problems and zero tutorial mode.
2025 - 2026
Next level at ProSales
German software house. Development on systems tied to the crypto market, KYC, integrations and operations where mistakes are costly.

Technologies I use
without crying.

Back-end & Databases
PHP Node.js MySQL MongoDB REST API Legacy APIs nobody wanted to touch
Front-end & Mobile
JavaScript React Native TypeScript React Bootstrap Tailwind CSS HTML/CSS (who doesn't?)
Tools & Others
Git Firebase Photoshop Figma AWS S3 Redis Anti Spaghetti Good Taste Pixel Perfect
Documentation is not bureaucracy. It's respect for whoever maintains it later (but if there isn't any, we'll figure it out).
If you can't explain it to a non-dev, it's too complicated.
Good code is what works in production, not in CodePen.
I'll never refuse a hard problem just because it's "out of scope".

If you need a dev
that delivers without
corporate theater, reach out.

No endless meetings, no inflated promises and no overcomplicating what could already be working. Tell me the scenario and I'll tell you the path forward.

Chat on WhatsApp Prefer email? Strangely respectable.

Average response time: enough to look like I actually work.
