Experience

Frontend → Full-Stack → Product Engineer

  • Worked across the full product lifecycle: led discovery with enterprise clients, turned feedback into specs and roadmaps, and shipped across the full stack — UI/UX, REST APIs, and database design
  • Authored technical documentation for APIs and integrations, and facilitated agile ceremonies to align product and engineering
  • Mentored developers and scaled the platform, which today serves 1,800+ customers and processes 80,000+ exchange and return requests per week as the segment leader in Brazil
  • Shipped a natural-language-to-SQL analytics assistant for ~13,000 daily users: an LLM turns plain-language questions into read-only SQL over the production database, wrapped in a multi-tenant security layer (SELECT-only validation, mandatory org-scoping, ID-projection blocking, stacked-query prevention) and a self-correcting retry loop
  • Built an LLM translation flow that, when a merchant enables a new language, automatically translates all of their existing custom content into it while preserving their original tone of voice
