Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGonçalo Da Silva is a Senior Software Engineer based in Barcelona with 12 years of hands-on experience building TypeScript front-ends and design-system components for companies like Elastic, New Relic and Personio. He blends practical React and Vue expertise with a habit of experimenting in emerging web tech (Solid, Astro) and a parallel interest in Rust—publishing open-source crates outside of work. Known for collaborating closely with designers and writing RFCs, he moves smoothly between shipping product features and shaping reusable UI patterns. Outside the office he pursues game development, reads widely on science and tech, and treats personal projects as a lab for new languages and tools, which keeps his engineering approach both pragmatic and curiosity-driven.
