I'm Kaio, a stack-agnostic* software engineer with almost a decade of experience in the software industry, spanning multiple tech stacks, several industry verticals and all organization sizes.

* If you're curious about my stack affinities and tech interests, please check out my lists and starred topics in the Stars tab.

I'm Brazilian, from São Paulo, where I developed a solid foundational set of engineering skills in my first five years in the industry, benefiting from the strong IT market in the region. Nowadays I live in Lisbon, Portugal, where I'm helping to build the future of smart-lockers at Bloqit, the fastest-growing smart locker company in the world and one of the top 10 most promising scale-ups in Portugal, here we develop end-to-end, fully integrated, state-of-the-art smart-locker solutions. As for my role: I've been helping to sustain our accelerated growth pace by designing, discussing, and implementing evolutionary architectural solutions that are scalable, reliable, and expandable, while also going fully hands-on with coding tasks on our several fronts. By the way, we're hiring for both front and backend-focused positions, and also for several other areas in tech. Intrigued?! Check out our job board!

I keep a Medium blog and there I share lessons learned, personal experiences with different tech stacks and tools, and anything else related to tech that comes to mind. Check out my latest articles below:

• Streamlining learning with Apple Shortcuts: a Flashcards app
• Is GitHub Copilot helping me become a better coding pilot?
• Rearchitecting a business-critical cronjob: a tale on why some decisions are more difficult to change than others

I've been using GitHub both professionally and as my portfolio. As a result of this fact, the contribution stats shown here are a comprehensive summary of all my engineering efforts on these two fronts. My public repositories approach a wide range of engineering topics, all implemented with clean code that works and solid documentation and references.
