About
Tech Lead Mobile Developer
I am a mobile developer who has spent more than 10 years leading businesses. All that time has given me a solid foundation that I'm now using to rock it as a developer. I've learned how to mix technology with indispensable soft skills, fostering growth, innovation, and lasting impact. 📊 Over the years, I've not only driven business growth but also embraced technology as a great ally.I have developed my company's app (OnMovie), which you can find on the Play Store. I have done this app using #React Native interacting with PHP APIs that has been built from my partner. Together we could deliver a company that reached the biggest investors of Brazil. So, more than developing, I've learned what startup is about. 📱 Currently, I am a Senior Mobile Developer at Descartes, one of the world's leading logistics companies. In this role, my team and I create mobile solutions for global enterprises, managing vast amounts of data. My work focuses on building high-performance, scalable applications tailored to the needs of large-scale clients. Additionally, I have been refining my skills in .NET MAUI, further diversifying my technical toolkit and understanding of cross-platform development. Previously, during my time at Zario, a Swiss startup, I spearheaded a significant transformation of the app’s native architecture, achieving more than a 50% reduction in battery consumption and substantially improving overall performance. This experience not only deepened my technical expertise but also strengthened my ability to innovate in fast-paced, high-stakes environments. While my primary focus has been on Android, I also bring knowledge of React Native, enabling me to collaborate effectively across diverse development ecosystems. My holistic understanding of mobile development allows me to bridge the gap between platforms and deliver cohesive, user-first solutions. 💡 I understand that software development isn't just lines of code; it's about creating experiences that resonate with users and drive business goals. This unique blend of technical acumen and soft skills equips me to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, bridge communication gaps, and deliver solutions that exceed expectations.

It was a pub/bar in our City, with more than 40 employees where I learned everything in business. I was just 20 years old when we opened this pub (that was a bowling at first time) and I had to learn Marketing, Financial and where I developed many of soft skills, as Leadership, Resilience, Problem Solving, Mindset, and many others. In 2017 I developed an app just for our pub, using Ionic Framework and Firebase, where clients could see menu, make reservations, contact us, see and share photos our photograph take, and many other functionalities. At this moment this isn't used anymore because we changed our business model. - Created app in Ionic to clients of our business. - Established culture, vision, goals and objectives to enhance business operations. - Recruited IT staff to align business goals with powerful technology. - Performed consumer and competitive research to uncover emerging opportunities. - Created marketing budget, tracked spending for new initiatives and measured Return on Investment (ROI). - Developed and executed well-defined consumer acquisition strategy to drive awareness and revenue. - Implemented marketing strategies to drive and optimize marketing funnel. - Assisted with branding, advertising, trade shows and company events.
