Paulo – Node.js, Typescript, React

Paulo is a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with nearly 20 years of experience building web and mobile products across fintech, e-commerce, travel, media, and marketing tech for companies in Brazil and Europe. The candidate takes products from idea to release on his own: he recently designed, built, and launched a microservices platform for artists as its sole engineer, and created an open-source PHP framework whose router serves 1,382+ requests/sec, benchmarking ahead of Slim, Symfony, and Laravel. Vetting results indicate that Paul does his best work in independent, end-to-end product roles and uses AI tools in development, with clear ownership of decisions.

Experience Highlights

Founder / Senior Full-Stack Engineer
Sep 2025 - Ongoing1 year 1 month
Project Overview

Artists, comedians, musicians, and content creators in Brazil promote their shows through scattered ticketing pages and social links, leaving fans without a single place to see where they perform next. This platform gives each creator a short, shareable profile page that combines a link-in-bio with a visual show agenda. Pasting a ticketing link (Sympla, Eventim) automatically pulls in the event photo, date, venue, and buy button, so the agenda stays current without manual entry. Creators sign in with one-click Google login and manage links, shows, and profile from a mobile-friendly dashboard.

Responsibilities:
  • Designed, built, and launched the entire platform end-to-end as the sole engineer — from architecture and data model to production deployment.
  • Split the backend into Dockerized microservices (Node.js/Express, Python, PHP) so new crawlers ship without touching the main API, making it faster and safer to add new ticketing sources.
  • Built a browser-based crawler service that extracts event metadata from shared Sympla and Eventim links and auto-fills each artist's agenda.
  • Used Vue.js for the lightweight public profile pages and Angular for the admin area, keeping the fan-facing frontend fast while giving creators a full-featured dashboard.
  • Implemented passwordless Google OAuth onboarding and a Gemini-based image-generation module with security and token-cost controls.

Founder / Senior Back-End Engineer
Sep 2012 - Ongoing14 years 1 month
Project Overview

An open-source, minimalist PHP framework for developers who need to ship APIs quickly without the boilerplate and overhead of heavyweight frameworks. It provides a fast routing engine, an ORM for database mapping, automated email queues, and a visual admin console that generates models directly from the database schema. In independent benchmarks that served identical JSON endpoints, it outperformed Slim, Symfony, and Laravel.

Responsibilities:
  • Designed and built the framework from scratch; its routing engine serves 1,382+ requests/sec at 0.72 ms CPU latency with a 0.3 MB memory footprint, benchmarking ahead of Slim, Symfony, and Laravel.
  • Built the ORM engine that maps database tables to PHP models with near-zero configuration.
  • Built an interactive admin terminal that generates model code straight from the database schema, removing hand-written boilerplate for new APIs.
  • Implemented automated email queues for reliable background delivery.
  • Maintained the project as open source, including documentation and a public website.
