This is an innovative startup based in Brazil, specializing in providing cutting-edge telecommunications solutions tailored exclusively for the B2B sector. The primary mission is to address the unique needs of businesses, offering a wide range of customized phone carrier services and solutions. The app was a short-term project.

This was an initiative by a Brazilian petroleum retailer similar to Shell. The project aimed to introduce a rewarding cashback system for users. Individuals who refueled their vehicles at the retailer's stations would accumulate points with every fill-up. These points could then be redeemed in the future to enjoy reduced fuel costs. Guilherme joined the team during a challenging phase in their journey. The company was in a rush to modernize its legacy native Android and iOS apps. The goal was to provide an enhanced user experience by implementing Flutter at the UI layer while retaining all native-level integrations and business model classes. In other words, the company needed to revamp the user interface with Flutter while preserving its existing functionalities (years of code).

• Architected a comprehensive solution to merge Flutter with their codebase seamlessly;
• Created all Flutter channels to communicate with native components;
• Orchestrated the mobile development team (which comprised the previous native Android/iOS team and the newly formed Flutter team);
• Ensured the old app had feature flags in case something went wrong;
• Made sure the Flutter codebase is reliable and testable;
• Conducted training sessions for the existing team members to facilitate their transition to Flutter;
• Met the project deadline despite the complexity of the task at hand.

This is a Brazilian unicorn company offering payment solutions to third-party companies seeking entry into the Latin American market. During Guilherme's tenure with the company, he led four mobile projects and oversaw a team of over 15 skilled mobile developers. Unfortunately, due to the company's strategic repositioning in the market, all these projects were regrettably canceled.

• Created the initial team;
• Defined the Architecture, enabled notifications, Accessibility, Analytics, Crashlytics, Automated tests, and C.I/C.D tools;
• Configured different artifacts for development and production environments, i18n;
• Handled the Publishing in both stores and coordinated tasks within the team.
