Wallace Belato

Provided technical leadership for building V Kit from scratch: a reusable UI component library and foundational design-system layer to standardize interfaces and accelerate delivery across products. Defined architecture, standards, build/packaging/versioning/distribution processes, documentation, and internal product evolution. Maintained and evolved a Vue.js product emphasizing maintainability, visual consistency, and UX cohesion. Implemented release processes with changelogs, semantic versioning, and CI/CD; used Storybook, unit tests, and functional tests to ensure quality and standardization, and coordinated front-end alignment with product and design.

Developed and evolved high-performance interfaces for the Smart TV ecosystem. Built React components using hooks, state management, documentation, and product evolution for Samsung Orsay (Tizen), LG webOS, NetCast, and Roku environments. Implemented custom remote-control navigation and predictable focus management prioritized for compatibility, low resource usage, and fast response times. Optimized performance by reducing unnecessary animations/re-renders, virtualizing rails/lists, minimizing DOM size, and using SVG, lazy loading, and content/resource optimization. Independently created EPG screens and a programming grid from scratch (including the 'Now on TV' experience). Built carousel/rails and episode/chapter screens, collaborated with CI/CD and Git workflows, and supported performance analysis and monitoring using New Relic.

Led full end-to-end delivery across front-end, back-end, APIs, data, and business rules. Established development standards including code practices, componentization, CI/CD, automated testing, QA validation, staging/production deployment, and post-release monitoring. Architected and mentored AI initiatives using RAG, embeddings, pgvectors, hybrid search, OpenAI APIs, Amazon Bedrock BYOK, Model Context Protocol (MCP), and tooling like Kiro CLI for product and internal workflows. Served as a technical reference bridging product, design, and engineering teams, strengthening architectural decisions, resilience strategies, and ongoing team enablement through knowledge sharing.
