Summary
Gabriel Costa is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of professional experience building maintainable, high-performance web applications across front-end and back-end stacks. He has deep Angular expertise (including AngularJS roots), five years of Python/Django backend work, and recent professional C# experience while exploring Node.js, Go and Rust for pragmatic language choices. Gabriel has a track record of improving performance and developer productivity—examples include a 30x speedup of a test suite, a 99.9% reduction in transferred data via diff-based sync, and specialized parsers/state managers to handle million-line XML datasets. He favors modular, reusable architecture informed by a strong theoretical CS background and routinely authors RFCs and abstractions to reduce coupling. Outside work he trades derivatives and plays guitar, and he brings a candid, unvarnished communication style that makes him easy to collaborate with.
