I’m Bruno, a fellow developer with over 17 years of experience that likes to build stuff.
I’ve been working mostly with Web Development using
JavaScript, TypeScript, Nullstack, React, Angular, Node.js, C#, SQL.
I’ve built many custom-tailored internal systems and tools to manage entire companies. And I've also worked on websites that were used by millions of users.
I love building tools to increase agency, since I started coding, I’ve been creating tools to make myself and the companies I worked for more productive.
I’ve asked and answered a lot of questions on Stack Overflow. I'm a member since 2010 and I’ve gotten a lot of reputation points (over 97,000), making me the top 0.16% overall. I’ve also had a lot of fun on CodeWars, solving a lot of different challenges and climbing up to kyu 2.
I'm currently open to new opportunities.

What I do?
As a Senior Software Engineer, I develop and blog about various technologies. My expertise lies in JavaScript and C#, as well as frameworks and libraries such as Nullstack, React, Node.js, Dotnet Core and Next.js.
I help businesses grow by building applications that solve their problems. That is not limited to clients, if I work for an agency, I'm going to do everything in my power to make the agency itself better. I love working on internal tools, increasing agency, creating/optimizing processes.
Nullstack is a great tool for me, as it enables me to work efficiently and avoid unnecessary complexity. I can concentrate on the functionality and deliverables of my projects. I also have plenty of experience with React and Angular and can work with them with ease.
Nullstack is my preferred tool for building backends as well, but I can also adapt to Node.js or C#. I have experience building applications with Next.js, Express, and dotnet core. I find it very rewarding to solve complex algorithms or problems and implement them in code, I got to kyu 2 in CodeWars by solving challenges.
VSCode is my preferred code editor. I have been using it since its early stages of development (before version 1.0).
Github is my preferred platform for version control and collaboration, but I also have experience with Azure, GitLab, and BitBucket.
On my spare time I sometimes do Live Streams on Youtube and/or work on some Github projects.
I am very used to Slack and I can configure various types of integrations and make new plugins. One of my projects is called Genos (a reference to One Punch Man), it's a bot for Slack that I always adapt to my current context. I also have experience with Discord and could work with it as well. I do use Discord for side projects and gaming.
Windows is my preferred operating system. It allows me to run any software I need with Docker and WSL support. I've been using Windows for development since I started.
Docker can be very useful, as it simplifies many different scenarios. I can quickly create and manage containers to run databases and applications for my projects. But if I have the choice I'll always choose to code directly as it's simpler and faster.
