Summary
Carlos Carvalho is a UX Engineer with 10+ years of experience blending product design and front-end engineering to ship measurable user growth across fintech, real estate, and SaaS. He co-founded ZeroPaper and scaled it to nearly 300,000 users before its acquisition by Intuit, then led localization and feature work that grew QuickBooks’ Brazilian user base and integrated designs into a global design system. At Elementar Digital he built a React component library and internal tools that cut development and support time significantly while launching a real-estate site that generated hundreds of daily visits and 500+ apartment sales. Trained in typography and branding, Carlos brings a rare craft-led sensibility to UI systems—several of his typefaces have been showcased at international conferences. Methodical yet adaptable, he bridges design and code (HTML/CSS/JS/TypeScript/React) to deliver polished, production-ready experiences and loves applying new learnings immediately. Quiet by nature but reliably collaborative, he thrives in structured teams where execution and empathy drive product outcomes.
