Summary
Michel Mattos is a senior software engineer with 11 years of experience specializing in front-end engineering and React-driven architectures, now based in Auckland and currently at Canva. He has led frontend teams and cross-discipline initiatives—owning frontend architecture, migrations, and uplift efforts—after building durable UIs at Petrobras for eight years and modern web apps across NZ startups like CRS Software, Springload and Ento. Comfortable across the stack, Michel combines React, Redux, GraphQL and Next.js expertise with practical full-stack work in Ruby on Rails, Node and Python, and has implemented observability and performance tooling such as Sentry in production. He’s pragmatic about testing and developer ergonomics (notably migrating e2e test suites to more accessible tools) and enjoys coaching through tech talks and “quick dives.” Avid about learning, he pursues Python and AI in his spare time and balances that curiosity with a move-from-scratch adventure from Brazil to New Zealand, showing adaptability beyond code.
