I’m a Brazilian frontend engineer, officially in the industry since 2012, although my journey on the web started a bit earlier, when I was following tutorials to customize my Blogspot layout. That’s where my interest in the internet began.
A few years later, I joined a technical course focused on web development, where I learned the fundamentals and realized that building websites could actually be a career. Soon after, I started my first job as an intern, and I haven’t stopped working with frontend since.
Throughout this journey, I’ve worked at agencies, large corporations, as a freelancer, and at mid-sized companies. I’ve also contributed to the tech community through talks, workshops, and by organizing events to support and grow my local community, helping more people find their path into tech.
I dedicated a good time of career on shipping interfaces, making things work, making them look right, and meeting deadlines. Over time, I became more interested in what happens beyond the surface: performance bottlenecks, accessibility gaps, and the hidden cost of decisions that seem harmless at first.
In my latest role, I had the opportunity to influence how products were built, advocating for performance optimization and accessibility improvements, and later leading teams and guiding technical decisions at a broader level.
In 2025, I took a step back from work. Not as a break from the industry, but as an intentional pause to reflect, study, and rethink what I want to build and contribute next.
I studied piano, traveled, and maybe most importantly, learned how to do nothing. Even so, I never fully disconnected from the industry, I kept following how the web is evolving and how new ideas are shaping the way we build for it. It was an important moment.
In March 2026, I was invited to speak at Faculdade de Tecnologia de Sorocaba, the university where I studied, for an International Women’s Day event. This is something I’ve always done with care and genuine interest, but this time felt different after being away from the industry for a while.
While talking to first-year students, encouraging them and sharing my experience, I found myself remembering why I liked tech in the first place. It’s easy to lose sight of that over time.
Since then, I’ve been slowly getting back into it and preparing the ground for what comes next.
Redesigning and refactoring my portfolio, and now starting this blog, are part of that process. I’ve always wanted to have a blog again, but never prioritized it or found the time. After this break, I’m finally able to enjoy the process of building it.
Here, you’ll find a mix of short reflections and deeper dives, sometimes practical, sometimes critical, always grounded in real experience.
Nice to meet you, and I hope to see you in the next post 🤝🙂
