The practice
Est. 2019. One engineer. One grid.
I am not a pixel-pusher. I am an engineer of interfaces — building systems where every component, margin, and interaction answers to the same underlying logic.
Method
Every project begins on the design system and the data model. Hierarchy is resolved through scale and space before a single library is added. Constraint is the point, not the compromise.
Belief
Good front-end is invisible until it fails. I measure my work by what the user never notices — the layout that holds, the state that syncs, the page that loads fast.
Practice
5+ years building ecommerce for Brazil's largest fashion brands — Farm Rio, Animale, ByNV — at Azzas 2154. Information Systems, UFRRJ. Open-source contributor on Operação Janela.
