Summary
Diego Polido is a Senior Software Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience building full-stack web applications, primarily with Ruby on Rails and modern JavaScript frameworks like React. He has led technical efforts and product ownership across e-commerce, fitness, and subscription platforms, integrating third-party systems (Stripe, Netsuite, Snowplow) and scaling services on AWS. Currently blending Rails, React and AI integrations to deliver a visual interior-design product, he excels at turning complex requirements into user-focused features and reliable APIs. A pragmatic problem-solver who treats projects with strong ownership, he brings deep DevOps and deployment experience (Nginx/Passenger, Capistrano) from both freelance and enterprise environments. Based in Goiás, Brazil, he pairs a formal CS background with a restless curiosity—he still prefers running the latest Rails versions and learning new technologies while traveling.
