Diego Galvão

I am a Frontend Software Developer specialized in React.js, Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js. With a background in Sales, I combine technical skills with a strong understanding of business needs to develop efficient software solutions.

Currently, I work as a Full Stack Developer, building and maintaining software using React, Next.js, and Java. I focus on implementing new features, optimizing UI/UX, and improving performance. Before transitioning into software development, I worked for over five years as a Sales Engineer, managing distributor relationships and expanding brand presence in the market. My ability to bridge technical knowledge with customer focus allows me to deliver impactful solutions. My diverse journey — from customer support and design, through Sales Engineering, to Software Engineering — gives me a unique perspective in development. This experience helps me understand business rules and user needs beyond the technical scope. Highlight Project: I led a complete refactoring of the company’s main application frontend, migrating from React 15 to React 18. The goal was to create and use a new Design System, in order to improve UX, modernize the codebase, improve performance, adopt best practices, and ensure compatibility with modern libraries. The project involved architectural review, dependency updates, legacy component refactoring, and implementation of automated testing.
