Senior Full stack Software Developer
Charles Robotics – Remote

December 2022 – May 2023

Charles Robotics is an Danish startup company that builds robots for farming.

My job was to create the basic startup software infrastructure from ground up. Design the
entire API, database, implement the entity models, and provide support for front end
developers. So far, 80% of the work is backend development.

The software solution made use of a third party library written in Python. I had to refactor it to
integrate with the front end (React 18 with Google Maps API) and the back end (Node 18,
Sequelize, MySQL, TypeScript). I hade to create the FASTAPI interface to easily integrate the
JavaScript/TypeScript. I was considering converting it to a Lambda function but didn’t have the
chance.

I also was responsible for deploying the entire production and development infrastructure to
the cloud using mainly AWS services like VPC, EC2, RDS, IAM, S3, KKS API Gateway, Nginx,
Docker, CircleCI, Github Actions and Devops. Everything was done in Terraform.

Senior Full stack Software Developer

Cohesity – Remote

August 2022 – October 2022

Cohesity is an American company with focus on big data management and security tools and
services.
My job was to refactor some huge legacy code written in very old Angular to modern practices
and libraries. My work was supported by UI designers and I was responsible for creating the
components, the reactive interface and the API structure. We used Gerrit, Jenkins, SonarQube,
PostgreSQL.

Senior Full stack Software Developer

Tiled – Remote

May 2022 – September 2022

Tiled is the maker of a tool to create web/mobile applications almost with no coding.

The Tiled platform frontend is written in React.JS with heavy use of Redux and state
management tools. The idea is for the user to drag-and-drop components like combo boxes,
text edit fields, filters, queries and more. The application is delivered via web and can run
almost anywhere, including mobile devices.

We made heavy use of RxJS, Redux and styling libraries. All the components were unit tested.
My job was to implement new requisites that came from Product Management. Some of the
implementations required both frontend and backend refactoring.

Videate – Remote
February 2022 – June 2022

Videate makes a very interesting tool that allow video creators to write scripts much like an
HTML markup language. The front end is very powerful editor that enables the editing, version
control, sharing, testing and visualization of the video produced. The backend server is
responsible for the “rendering” of the video, addition of sound and/or music and even the
narration of the video made from a very short sample of voice from the narrator. The producer
just adds the text to be narrated and the software does the rest. To render the video, the client
application instantiates a virtual machine on cloud services provider (AWS), starts the instance,
load the rendering program and awaits for the output: the complete video rendered.

My job was to refactor the very old UI made in React by a contractor years ago. The front end
was refactored to use more modern practices and libraries. Also, as the backend was
completely written in Go, Videate provided Golang training for me and I’ve learned Go while
maintaining the backend server. Implementation of API entry points in Golang to be used by
the frontend written in React was the most frequent work done. The system used PostgreSQL
for data storage, Kafka and Redis for messaging.

Senior JavaScript Developer

Human – Remote

October 2021 – February 2022

Human is a company that makes a web agent (JavaScript web worker) that captures keyboard
strokes, mouse movements and clicks and sends this captured data to a backend artificial
intelligence capable of discerning if the user is indeed a human or a robot. Based on this
assessment, content and behavior of the customers site can be managed.

My job was to write the agent code and customize it to certain peculiar situations from the
huge list of costumers. Although it ran on the client side, there was little user interface design.
Senior Fullstack Software Developer
Stefanini – Remote

February 2021 until now

Stefanini is a renowned IT company with operations in many countries serving big corporations
and government institutions with 25k+ employees.

In Stefanini I do the regular fullstack development with many languages like React, Next.JS,
Angular, Java, Kotlin. CI/CD using Jenkins, SolarQube and many other tools integrated into the
pipeline. Databases used: Oracle (mostly), MySql, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Kafka. Test Driven
Development (TDD), Domain Drive Development (DDD), Unit and integration tests. Everything
was running with Kubernets with the full cycle of production, validation, staging, development.
Ocasionally I had to deal with Kubernetes configuration files for new testing/prototyping
purposes.

Support to design and architecture of distributed systems running in private cloud

infrastructure that runs on client premises, a federal government agency.

Finished project for graph database viewer integrating with many data sources as Oracle DB,
ElasticSearch and others.

New SAGAS 3.0, a new front-end application to replace Saga 2.0 written in Java.

As a senior I provide support to application designers and less skilled programmers.

Freelance Fullstack Software Developer

January 2000 until now

As a IT specialist I´ve been doing freelance consulting and development to many costumers.
Most of the costumers are ERP clients from Procenge´s Piramide, SAP, TOTVS and many other
custom ERP´s. The work consist mainly of integration of ERP´s with legacy systems and
custom/specific software systems. Until 2012 I used to hire contractors to do the actual
programming and I stand as the designer and engineer of the systems. From 2014 on, I decided
to do the actual programming myself, mostly in Python+Django. As the demands for web
presence from my customers increased I´ve decided to learn JavaScript (2015/2016) and
create the software solutions with plain HTML/CSS+JavaScript. In 2016 I got acquainted with
Vue.JS, and started doing everything in Vue. Then I moved to React in 2017, and since then
99% of the work has been done in React.JS + Node.JS + Next.JS.

The work consists in designing and implementing API either on the client or the server side in
Node.JS and recently with Next.JS and Nest.JS on the server. Most of the systems are hosted
on Vercel with some AWS and Azure customers as well. The database used was MySQL and
then I moved to use mostly Mongo.DB hosted on the Atlas cloud services. Source control and
storage uses git hosted on private Gitlab servers on customers premises or on the
Gitlab/Github cloud. Unit Test are done with Jest/Mocha. Integration tests uses Cypress.
Authentication uses Auth0 free services or some kind of Windows AD integration on systems
hosted on customer´s premises.

Sales and Mktg director

Edax – Recife, Pe

June 2016 to September 2017

Edax was a startup that made the Gemmius ERP for ophthalmic clinics and hospitals. The
application system was written mainly in C# .Net on the backend and vanilla JavaScript on the
frontend. Edax was part of Grupo Hope, one of the largest ophthalmic hospitals in Brazil. As
sales/mktg director, I oversaw assembling the Sales team, hired sales personnel, created the
workflow/processes of the sales department, hired product specialists, negotiated deals with
sales partners (representatives) all over Brazil and managed the strategic accounts personally. I
also participated in the strategic planning with the owners, investors, and other senior staff.
Edax was shut down after the owners decided to pull back the Gemmius software from the
market to keep it as a strategic differential in the very competitive ophto/hosp segment.

Regional Sales Manager Northeast - Microscopy Division

Carl Zeiss Brasil - Recife, PE

December 2012 to September 2015

Regional manager of the Northeast branch of Zeiss. In this activity I did not perform work
related to IT. Even so, I deployed BI Qlikview using its own ETL and Python language. In
addition, I implemented CRM Pipedrive and integrated it using Python with the legacy ERP
system. This ERP system would then be replaced by SAP and the CRM integration went to the
hands of the augmented IT department. Carl Zeiss is a German multinational with more than
180 years that manufactures light, laser, electron, ion and x-ray microscopes. Most of the
microscopes are programmable in VB and Python.

Product specialist at Procenge - Recife, PE

June 2005 to November 2012

Procenge is the company that owns the Pirâmide ERP today. Procenge purchased Pirâmide ERP
from Terasoft 1998 (more on that later). I became a Product Consultant in a role very similar to
Product Owner. I was responsible for the technical interface between the development team
and the sales team. I got involved with the software factory to find out about technologies,
deadlines, features that would be implemented or not, prioritization of issue in the backlog
queue. Although Procenge by then had not yet adopted 100% of agile methodologies, we
already used several principles. The Pirâmide ERP was developed with backend in C # .Net,
SqlWindows and Oracle. In 2012 the Pirâmide ERP was functionally mature but technologically
obsolete, relying heavily in the old Windows Desktop client written in SqlWindows. That was
one of the reasons why I left Procenge for CZ.

My job at Procenge was to defend Procenge’ s development products and services with all
types of customers. From C-level executives, when strategic aspects should be highlighted, to
accountants, HR professionals, logistics, sales, procurement and obviously IT, to whom specific
technical aspects of their specialties were the topic of presentations, conversations,
clarifications, surveys, definitions of products and even some prototyping done with HTML and
JavaScript for forms or small processes. My role was not of a developer but more of a
"specifier" or “proto” Product Owner of what should be implemented in the product / service.
The ERP was the main product and in addition Procenge also offered georeferenced systems,
management systems for water and sanitation; piped gas; and general utilities companies.
There were also systems for telebilling, mobile computing, telemetry and geomonitoring.
Among Procenge’ s clients I attended all types of business: fintechs; health operators;
manufacturing industries; logistics companies; car, machinery and equipment rental
companies; wholesale and retail commerce. I was also involved in integration projects
between the ERP and specific systems, partner systems, legacy data conversion,
complementary BI or BAM (Business Activity Monitoring) projects.

Sales and Mktg director and HR Unit Director

Elógica - Olinda, PE

February 2004 to March 2005

Elógica was one of the most traditional software development companies in Pernambuco.
With national reach but best known for its brief Internet access provider. During my
management at Terasoft (more on that later) Elógica was a formidable competitor that offered
a complete package of business management and connectivity software and the combined
internet including POS hardware. In January 2004 I was invited to be the director of my former
competitor. I imagined that I would find a colossus. Despite all this, Elógica had only 12
customers of its ERP Adapta. When I left Terasoft 6 years earlier, we already had 20 ERP
Pirâmide customers. The software had fundamental design problems, it was always
malfunctioning, and the customers were very dissatisfied. I left after 1 year.

Branch Manager
Sena Software - Recife, PE

March 2003 to February 2004

Sena was a company that manufactured a product called “SAP-By-Notes” that consisted of a
SAP R/3 client written in IBM Lotus Notes. SAP-by-Notes had a cost a tenth of the regular SAP
license and on top of that it allowed the frontend to be programmed in Notes which meant
web, desktop, and even easy integration with the Notes environment of the client. My job was
to sell the product to SAP customers in the region, which was obviously very easy. Then, design
applications that use SAP as a backend. That meant applications for supplies and finance,
mainly. We have developed a remote SMS alert and authorization system. That system would
be upgraded to an app years later. but I was no longer in the project. At the end of 2003, SAP
canceled the partnership with IBM (for obvious reasons) and Sap By Notes was terminated. By
then I had already accepted Elógica's job offer.

Chief Technology Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Executive Officer

Inter.Net Group - São Paulo, SP

June 2000 to March 2003

Inter.Net is an internet service provider that was once part of PSINet, the first and then largest
commercial internet access provider and one of the pioneers of the corporate Internet. In
Brazil, PSINet bought 10 access providers that operated in 20 of the largest cities in Brazil.
Large corporate customers and medium-sized companies stayed with PSINet Brasil. Home
users and small companies went to Inter.Net. In Brazil, Inter.Net became the third largest dial-
up provider. I joined Inter.Net as a new business manager and on the second day of work I was
tasked with solving the "Apartnet" problem, a condominium broadband access system created
by Elógica, one of the providers purchased by PSINet. Apartnet consisted of a private network
connecting multitenant buildings to a neighborhood POP(point of presence). These local hubs
were connected to the central point of presence where the connection to Internet was made.
This network was a nightmare. In some buildings it worked perfectly, which made demand
super high at a time when there was no broadband in Brazil. In other buildings, the network
was unreliable, slow. My job was to optimize the network, redesign it, produce a VPN-based
security system. From ugly duckling Apartnet became the Swan that would give rise to the
FastBee operation in the future, the broadband provider of the Inter.Net Group. I was
promoted to Chief Technology Officer and my job was to consolidate the 10 different
technological platforms of the 10 providers to function as a single user. modern technology,
hosting in a large Optiglobe datacenter. Among the projects:

• Apartnet: stabilized condominium broadband network transformed into a product with a

high level of dissatisfaction
• Consolidation: general consolidation of access control systems, billing, page hosting,
application hosting, domains, emails, PHP applications, CGI applications, ASP applications,
Oracle databases, MySql. Programming in bash, awk. Consolidation of RADIUS servers.
Deployment of virtual machines.
• Creator of a CMS written in PHP to manage the Inter.Net portal.
• Creation of a new billing, collection and user control application written in PHP + Java.
• Consolidate all Inter.Net IT infrastructure outside of PSINet.

In June 2000 the dotcom bubble burst and PSINet went bankrupt. Fortunately, Inter.Net had
already done the spin-off and was no longer dependent on anything from PSINet. Still, drastic
measures to reduce costs were needed and I was fired from Inter.Net just to be hired again
just few months later. This time to be the Director of Operations for FastBee, an enterprise of
the Inter.Net Group but providing multi-tenant building a high speed shared broadband access
to the internet, a modernized super Apartnet. I legally established the foreign company in
Brazil, I worked with "power of attorney" for Inter.Net Inc. I negotiated the draft of the
company's articles of association with co-lawyers and acted as a "delegated manager" for all
foreign capital influx for the opening and pre-operation of the subsidiary in Brazil. I hired the
entire infrastructure team, hired outsourced staff to install on the client’s premises.
Established interconnection contracts with other major internet backbone providers. I
negotiated the purchase of equipment, formed teams, managers and answered fiscally for the
company. In April 2003 I received a much better financial offer from Sena and I left FastBee.

Managing Partner
Terasoft - Recife, PE

January 1992 to July 1998

After my tenure as IT manager at Grupo Moura Baterias, I was invited by Moura to found a
new software company and offer to the market the solutions I had created. Terasoft started
with me and my partner in a garage. Moura was our main customer, so we did everything for
them. From programming to training, tech support, making manuals, documenting, installation
of the apps in computers. The software solutions ranged from accounting, finance, inventory,
billing & collection, ordering, sales, procurement. Most of the system were written in Clipper.
Terasoft grew quickly and once had more than 300 clients in almost every state of Brazil. When
we realized that we needed a better tech stack to cope with ever more complex and bigger
clients, my partner and I conceived and designed the ERP Pirâmide to work in the classic
monolithic client-server architecture using Windows platform on the client and Oracle
database manager on the server. The Pirâmide ERP quickly became Terasoft's biggest business.
With the launch of Piramide ERP we made the spinoff of the Clipper division, and another
company was founded. Terasoft conquered big clients, among them EMC, then the largest
mass storage maker, Grupo Carlos Lyra (once the second largest sugar-cane producer) and
even Cia Cervejaria Brahma, before the merge with Antarctica and creation of Ambev (later
Inbev). We opened a branch in São Paulo and reached 200 employees. The Brahma project
unfortunately turned out to be a disaster and led to the bankruptcy of Terasoft in the same
year in which it had reach US$ 5 million dollars in revenues. We sold the Pirâmide ERP system
to Procenge and I went to work at the internet access provider Inter.Net

IT Manager
Grupo Moura Baterias - Recife, PE

June 1989 to 1991

Largest manufacturer of automotive batteries in the southern hemisphere of the planet.

Moura hired me in 1989 to be its IT manager. I standardized and consolidated the corporate
application systems among all 60 units of Moura at the time. This included industrial units,
distribution companies and subsidiary companies (metallurgy, air taxi, corporate services, etc.).
I pioneered the use of Local Area Network with PC computers for corporate IT infrastructure in
the region. By early 90´s I installed the first corporate email services using CCmail and then
Microsoft Mail, even before the popularization of the internet. I connected Moura's remote
offices using dial-up lines that were later replaced by dedicated point-to-point links and later
by internet access (I was no longer there). After just over 2 years, Moura invited me to partner
and we founded Terasoft .

Operating Systems Programmer

SUDENE - Recife, PE

June 1985 to December 1990

Sudene is a federal agency to promote the economic and social development of the
