Gabriel Prado

I'm Gabriel, a Software Engineer specialized in frontend development, but I also have strong knowledge in backend development. I'm currently working at Localiza&Co, a company that provides car rental services in South America.

I'm from Brazil, and I'm passionate about technology, gaming, and sports. I played basketball in high school, and lately, football for about 8 years. I also love to play video games, and I'm a big fan of a lot of genres, but I'm mostly into FPS, puzzle, and RPG games.

My career in programming started back in 2018, when I enrolled in a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I learned a lot of things and programming languages during the course, but I fell for JavaScript. I started to learn React in 2019, and I've been using it ever since. I also have experience with Node.js, Next.js, Typescript, and I'm currently thinking about learning another backend language to improve my skills.

Professional Experience

Mid Software Developer — Localiza&Co

My main responsibilities are to develop and maintain the frontend of a new portal website for wholesale customers. I also worked on a team that was responsible for developing a mobile app for car check-ups, exclusive to the company's employees.

Frontend Developer — Gamifica.ai

I worked on developing a platform that offered online event hosting. I was responsible for developing the frontend of the platform, but I also worked on the backend, using Node.js, Serverless, and AWS. My main responsibilities were developing new features, fixing bugs, and maintaining the codebase.
After my second year, I was promoted to principal frontend developer, as I was the oldest and most experienced developer in the team. I led the frontend team, and I was responsible for creating solutions, defining the architecture, and mentoring the other developers, as we were developing a second version of the platform.
