AI-augmented Software Developer | 15 years shipping web products | React, Next.js, Node
I've spent 15 years building for the web — starting in UI design, moving through front-end engineering, and now delivering AI-augmented software development, where I pair senior-level engineering with AI agents and automation (n8n) to ship in days what used to take weeks.
Most recently at Music AI, I built Next.js applications end-to-end: Strapi headless CMS integrations and custom plugins, Node services, payment integrations (Stripe, PayPal, EBANX), and Vercel CI/CD pipelines. Before that, I spent nearly 5 years as a Senior Front-end Engineer at Trustly, working on the company's main product — delivering features under tight deadlines, breaking down complex work so the team could move in parallel, reviewing PRs, and interviewing engineers.
My earlier years gave me range most developers don't have: at Wine.com.br (one of the world's largest wine e-commerce clubs) I cut a 2-day content pipeline down to 3 hours through build automation and static page generation; at Rede Gazeta I doubled the commercial team's delivery speed by making them independent of other teams. I started my career as an interface designer — so I don't just implement designs, I understand them, and I communicate fluently with product managers, designers, and stakeholders.
What that means for you: a developer who designs, builds, automates, and ships autonomously — with clean code, clear communication, and deadlines that hold.
