Work Experience

Senior Software Engineer at Compare Credit
April 1, 2024 - Present
transitioned to direct employment after 3 years as an embedded contractor, taking on broader ownership across the engineering team. Core platform is a Next.js and TypeScript monorepo with Sanity CMS, deployed on Vercel, with Google BigQuery as central data warehouse. Led the migration to a new multi-product platform MVP — a Next.js/TypeScript solution with a dedicated Sanity workspace, full observability setup, geolocation, and CCPA compliance. Implemented a Sanity Presentation Tool for live draft preview directly within the CMS, enabling live preview and eliminating publish-before-review. Implemented a client-side routing layer using a Multi-Armed Bandit approach to optimize conversions by reading real-time Redis data and redirecting users to the highest-performing page variant. Built an AI-powered Compliance Bot that scrapes pages with Playwright and uses an LLM to flag regulatory risks, reducing manual review. Contributed to Trove, a Chrome extension built with React and TypeScri
Senior Software Engineer at Compare Credit

Embedded as a contractor at a US-based marketing platform for credit cards; contributed across the full stack in a Next.js and TypeScript monorepo. Collaborated with growth, compliance, and analytics teams across frontend, CMS, ETL pipelines, and internal tooling. Built ETL pipelines ingesting data from affiliate networks (CJ, Impact Radius, Rakuten) into Google BigQuery, and developed Reverse ETL flows to push performance data back to ad platforms (Facebook and Google Ads). Established automated E2E testing with Cypress and subsequently migrated to Checkly for monitoring-as-code. Built a ChatGPT-powered assistant using the OpenAI API with a Redis-backed session management. Contributed to platform migrations to improve reliability and scalability.
Software Developer at dti digital
October 1, 2020 - May 31, 2021
Joined a newly formed team to replace WordPress with a scalable multi-publisher content platform; delivered 3 publishers to production. Worked across the full lifecycle from initial implementation in a JS/JSON-driven framework, through front-end logic in JavaScript, back-end business rules in PHP, and Oracle SQL stored procedures, functions, and jobs. Designed an automated report generation pipeline using Jenkins as a job scheduler, replacing manual processes and ensuring timely delivery to enterprise clients. Built interactive dashboards to surface key business data for end users and investigated data discrepancies (e.g., Excel XLS row limit) by splitting output into multiple files to prevent data loss.
Software Developer at Verde Ghaia

Contributed to a legal-tech platform used by environmental lawyers to monitor and classify changes in Brazilian legislation. Worked across the stack to improve UI in React and support backend needs with Node.js/Express, building the data pipeline that feeds the system. The platform automatically scraped official government gazettes, parsed PDFs to extract potentially relevant legal updates, and routed flagged content for human review by legal specialists before being added to the regulatory database.
Junior Software Developer at Tecnisa

Took full ownership of feature development and maintenance on the ERP web platform, building screens via a proprietary JSON-driven framework, implementing client-side logic in JavaScript, back-end business rules in PHP, and managing Oracle SQL stored procedures, functions, and jobs. Designed an automated report generation pipeline using Jenkins, built interactive dashboards, and resolved data-discrepancy issues in enterprise reports by splitting outputs into multiple files to prevent data loss.
