Summary
Gabriel Brandão is a Full Stack Engineer with 8 years of hands-on experience building marketplaces, mobile apps, and event-driven backend systems from Portugal. He’s delivered end-to-end solutions—React/Node.js frontends, native Android/iOS apps, and integrations with Stripe, InvoiceXpress, and third-party APIs—while owning deployment pipelines with Docker, Kubernetes, Render and GitHub Actions. Gabriel has founded and scaled consumer apps (200k+ downloads) and small businesses, demonstrating an ability to turn product ideas into production-ready systems that drive user growth and partnerships. He’s practical with databases and messaging (Postgres, MongoDB, EventStore, RabbitMQ, EventBridge) and has improved reliability through testing, monitoring and CI/CD. Comfortable switching hats between founder, lead developer and engineer, he combines entrepreneurial instincts with disciplined engineering practices. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he pairs rapid feature delivery with careful SEO and performance optimizations (WebP, structured data, lazy loading) to boost real-world adoption.
