Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndré Castelo is a Senior Software Engineer based in João Pessoa, Brazil, with 18 years of hands-on experience building modern web platforms using React, TypeScript, and Python, and recent work exploring Go. He thrives in contract and product environments—recently at Bluefin and long-term as a Toptal freelancer—delivering end-to-end systems from Next.js frontends to FastAPI/Django backends and CI/CD pipelines. André has repeatedly led architectural efforts, secure auth integrations (Keycloak), and E2E test automation (Playwright/Behave), bringing maintainability to legacy stacks and speed to greenfield projects. Comfortable switching hats between frontend polish and backend architecture, he prefers pragmatic, test-driven solutions and admits to a strong dislike for Java.
