Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndré Oliveira is a Software Engineer with 8 years of experience who transitioned from a master's in networks to building developer tooling at AWS, including work on Cloud9 and Amazon’s most popular open-source project, the Ace editor. He specializes in front-end engineering with TypeScript/JavaScript and React, and has deep familiarity with AWS services and developer tooling like CDK and the AWS Toolkit. At AWS he advanced quickly to SDE II, contributed across three developer tooling products, and served as a bar-raiser for Correction of Error analyses—bringing an operational, customer-focused mindset to engineering. His open-source contributions improved editor UX and maintainability (cursor handling, autocomplete on newline, and refactoring to class-based snippets), reflecting a knack for pragmatic, user-facing fixes. Based in Amsterdam and originally from Portugal, he combines curiosity about how systems work with a preference for solving concrete problems that “give a dopamine boost.”
