Hello there, I amJoão BastSoftware Engineer highly experienced in building JavaScript web and mobile apps
Personal
My interest in computing started when I was still a child. At that time, I used to spend a lot of time in the computer but only for entertainment purposes. Over the years, both games and software evolved, and the computer I had at the time no longer met my needs well. It was at this moment that the computer ceased to be just a tool for entertainment, and I started to research more about the subject, especially regarding hardware.
In college, I ended up igniting my passion for programming. Solving real-life problems through lines of code and understanding how all of this works was what motivated me to keep improving so I could work with it in the future.
My first contact with web programming came at the university's computer junior company, where I spent some time working as a backend developer. The interest in frontend came some time later, after starting to understand and dig deeper into the web as a whole. Then I started to study, in addition to JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. At this point, I really enjoyed the experience of creating interfaces, especially when combined with the use of libraries like React. Therefore, I chose to focus my career in this area and started working with frontend.
Technical
During my software development career, I've contributed to various projects: web, mobile, and smart TV apps, websites, administration systems, and more. I enjoy closely collaborating with both design and backend teams, playing an integral role in the entire project lifecycle.
I'm highly experienced in building custom and interactive interfaces for different devices. The most relevant technologies I specialize in include:
- TypeScript
- React
- React Native
- Next.js
- Tailwind
- Zustand
- Firebase
- Rollbar
These technologies and frameworks have been my primary tools in creating custom apps. Complementing these core tools, I can also mention other technologies I master too:
- GraphQL
- Strapi
- Redux
- Stripe
- Node.js
- Prisma
- Electron
- Styled Components
Alongside frontend proficiency, I'm also experienced with backend since I've contributed to multiple features and data strategy discussions, ensuring comprehensive project execution.
In addition to these development skills, I am well-versed in managing development teams as a tech leader. From conducting code reviews to spearheading critical technical decisions, I am adept at ensuring the successful execution of projects from conception to deployment.
