X-Team

Senior Software Engineer
X-Team collaborates with major global brands, including Coinbase, Riot Games, Fox Broadcasting, Twitter, Sony, Intel, Beachbody, Kaplan Inc., and more.

Meta
/ Kustomer (New York)
Senior Software Engineer
At Meta, I work within Kustomer, a platform that allows businesses to manage all their communication channels in one place. Here, I develop applications and provide feedback on UX to improve the platform. Currently, I am working on a design system that will be open-sourced, enabling external developers to develop standardized applications that align with our brand. This makes our application review process easier, provides a better, faster and more consistent development experience, and offers a more consistent application experience for end-users.

Zé Delivery
/ Anheuser-Busch InBev
Frontend Engineer III
Zé Delivery is Brazil's largest beverage delivery app, with millions of users, powered by Anheuser-Busch InBev. In this role, I contributed to the development of a better user experience in the main application as part of the Consumer Purchase team, focusing on improving user price perception and conversion. During this time, I reduced technical debt by refactoring the "browse" feature, which accounted for about 1/3 of the application, significantly decreasing development delivery time. I also developed a robust implementation for handling deep links, boosting our marketing campaigns, and assisted in creating Mozeic, our design system that is currently under construction. Additionally, I interviewed potential team members and created a new API for our Code Challenge using Node.js.

Alfred Delivery is a delivery app focused on more miniature cities and remote areas in Brazil. It currently has franchises in over 90 cities.
