Location and Scenery: Working from the heart of Brazil’s interior, where the sun blazes and you’re just as likely to hear the moo of cows as the bleating of goats. Picture rolling hills, sprawling valleys, and the occasional palm tree dotting the farmland — a rugged yet vibrant landscape that captures the true spirit of the Northeast.

Special Skills: Attention to detail and a team player through and through. I bring a fine-tuned eye to every project and always enjoy collaborating. I’m solid with KnockoutJS but prefer the modern flow and flexibility that Next.js brings to the table.

Fun Fact: My first job was creating a flashy jewelry website inspired by 2Advanced — of course, it didn’t hit their level of motion magic, but I was thrilled with it! Building it with ActionScript, Flash, MySQL, and PHP made it a blast and set the stage for everything that came after.

Favorite Tool or Tech: Chrome DevTools — they’re like a multi-tool for debugging, optimizing, and perfecting code on the fly. Whether it’s checking network performance, tweaking CSS, or analyzing JavaScript, Chrome DevTools always deliver right when I need them.

What do you like to do to unwind outside of work? Photography in all its forms — whether it’s capturing the local wildlife, sweeping landscapes, or street scenes. Sometimes it’s just about unwinding in nature and taking it all in.

Favorite part of being an Otter? The combination of a great team with strong leadership, and the flexibility to work hours that fit the rhythm of life.

Short Bio: I’ve coded from three countries across two continents, almost always on eCommerce projects. Starting in the days of IE6 and ActionScript, I’ve seen the tech world shift and thrive, and I’m here to help navigate that change with well-crafted solutions.
