Hey, I’m João 👋
Senior Software Engineer, proud dad of two tiny humans, and a firm believer that clean code and strong coffee can fix almost anything (except teething babies at 3 a.m.).
Contact MeAbout Me
I’m a backend engineer with 10+ years of experience turning messy codebases into scalable systems — usually with Python, AWS, and a few try/except blocks along the way.
I’ve worked across media, e-commerce, and corporate platforms, leading projects, mentoring devs, and making architecture decisions that (usually) age well.
Outside of work, I’m a proud dad, casual runner, and certified football scout (FPF & PFSA).
Now I’m aiming for a leadership role — helping teams ship great work and have fun doing it. If that’s your vibe, let’s talk.
