Jorge ******** ******* ** *****
Full Stack Web Developer - Sao Paulo
Transitioning from building monolithic applications for small / mid-sized companies was not easy. I had to spend almost a year on mapping and catching up with the tech stack that the industry was requiring and adapt to the microservices / distributed systems paradigm.
After working for more than a year for a large sized tech company, I shifted my goals. In the long term, I wish to qualify myself as a modern web platform architect in order to create highly available environments with development patterns that would be logical for the teams to adopt.
In the short term perspective, I’d still have a long way to go, working as a full stack web developer to acquire the necessary knowledge in order to continue on my journey.
As for the types of business, I have interest in well established companies that works with multiple teams and mature agile management. However, I’m also fond of small / mid-sized start-ups where we may contribute in different areas and help build our own process – very exciting.
I’m in search of an opportunity where I’d be part of a multidisciplined team, learn from each other, produce great work that we can be proud of and still have fun on the way!
Summary/Takeaways:
- I had the opportunity to live abroad in the US and Europe during my childhood/teens;
- Initial university course in Industrial Design and graduation (incomplete) in Art Direction for Film /TV;
- Shifted to web development at around 2004;
- Worked as a freelancer for about 20 years, but built my own company in 2011, handling all aspects of the projects (design, product, development, hosting environments, Google Ads) in various programming languages and frameworks;
- Built my own framework from scratch in classic ASP, .NET/SQL Server, PHP/MySQL, node/react/MySQL, PHP/Laravel/MySQL (WIP);
- Almost 2 years working in a US based near shore outsourcing company (4,000 employees);
- Allocated for approximately the same period in a US based mid-sized venture capital tech company (over 3,000 employees), which is focused on publishing content for specific niches;
Tech Knowledge Distribution Weight:
- 75% frontend (Senior Frontend)
- 25% backend (Entry-level Backend/CICD

Marcello ***** ******
Data Analyst/Scientist - São Paulo
Hello, my name is Marcello and I'm a data professional with over seven years of experience in the field and over two years leading data analytics teams.
I have worked in companies of different sizes (from startups to multi billion companies), multiple fields (government, finance, retail, among others), both in Brazil and in the U.S. This also means I was able to work in different data maturity levels.
I like to help companies succeed with the use of data. I believe (and have seen) that the more data-driven the company is, biggest are the chances for the company to succeed.
My professional strenghts are programming (specially SQL and Python), data-related knowledge (like data modeling and data visualization), communication and leadership.
In my opinion, the most important thing in a professional is ownership. You need to feel like you own what you are building. That way, you will feel more motivated and also bring more value.
Currently, I'm learning Artificial Intelligence, specially Machine Learning, to bring even more value to the work that I do.
