Summary
Gabriel Saldanha is a senior software engineer with a decade of experience building backend systems in Python and Django, currently focused on tax platforms at Carta. He designs and implements complex tax products (Forms 3921/3922/1099B), builds APIs for stock sales and liquidity events, and improves accuracy through comprehensive automated testing. His background spans full-stack and API work, legacy refactoring, and ETL automation for tax filing, reflecting a strong blend of domain specificity and pragmatic engineering. Gabriel also creates educational content as a course instructor in APIs and systems architecture, showing a commitment to mentorship and knowledge sharing. Based in Rio de Janeiro, he pairs formal studies across Brazil and the US with hands-on product delivery, often translating regulatory complexity into maintainable, testable services. A less obvious strength is his history of user-centered solutions—from lab inventory systems to merchant portals—demonstrating an ability to gather stakeholder needs and ship low-maintenance, production-ready software.
