Joao R.Back-end and Systems Engineer
Skills
With over two years of experience as a developer, a keen interest in programming was kindled during high school under the notion that Programmers will be the magicians of the future. This passion led to a dedicated educational pursuit in the field and a strategic relocation to embark on a career from scratch. The professional journey began as a telemarketing attendant, but persistence facilitated an evolution into a developer role. Early career experiences included working in quality assurance, utilizing Python for testing APIs and front-ends of e-commerce projects. Key accomplishments involved creating automated end-to-end testing processes that identified numerous bugs, thus preventing production errors and reducing project losses over time.
The skillset was further enhanced through work with PHP, Postgres, and Angular to optimize application performance. A noteworthy challenge was joining a newly-formed team on a project at its inception, which enabled a deeper understanding of business rules and contributions to scalability and high performance. This project transitioned entirely to a JavaScript/TypeScript environment using frameworks such as Nest.js, React.js, and Angular, while also advancing knowledge in NoSQL databases like MongoDB.
Current engagement involves a major e-commerce project focusing on scalability, high performance, as well as deadline and team management, intending to deliver innovative customer experiences. Expertise is concentrated on back-end solutions with substantial knowledge in cloud services, particularly AWS. This background in the e-commerce sector provides an advantage in understanding specific market needs.
There is a deep passion for innovation and a constant drive to acquire new knowledge, with an appreciation for how technological solutions can be transformative for businesses.
