Summary
Paulo Lagoá is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently focused on front-end development at Hitachi Vantara where he helps maintain a shared React UI Kit used across multiple products. He has deep client-side expertise from earlier roles working with pure JavaScript, jQuery and AngularJS, and a strong background in full-stack and Microsoft-centric technologies from agency and consulting work.
