Hitalo Souza is a full-stack software developer with 5 years of experience building high-performance web systems and contributing extensively to open-source language tooling. Comfortable across JavaScript/TypeScript frameworks, Dart/Flutter, Go, Java/Kotlin and low-level V language work, he bridges front-end UX and back-end scalability with hands-on DevOps and CI/CD experience. He has a track record of optimizing servers and libraries—contributing performance and graphics improvements to the V language and the widely referenced the-benchmarker/web-frameworks project. As a former technical lead and senior engineer, he has led ETL, architecture and cross-squad initiatives while practicing TDD and agile methods. Based in Dublin, he’s curious about new languages (recently exploring Vlang) and focused on delivering measurable performance gains in production systems.
