Senior Backend Engineer 路 Node.js, TypeScript 路 Distributed Systems & P2P 路 Fintech & Web3
I build production backends in Node.js and TypeScript for fintech, banking and Web3. I co-founded Zuvia, the platform behind Brazil's first real estate tokenization on B3 infrastructure, with R$300M+ in transaction volume and 8,000+ investors. Now I'm focused on privacy-first, decentralized, peer-to-peer software on the Holepunch/Pear stack.
