Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPedro Vaz is a backend developer with 8 years of hands-on experience who transitioned from a Chemical Engineering degree in Brazil to software after starting as a technical recruiter. Based in Berlin since 2020, he has built production services across startups and scale-ups including Back Market, Brainsuite.ai, and currently Layover Solutions. Comfortable across stacks and DevOps practices, he treats tools as means to solve problems rather than silver bullets and enjoys exploring new languages and design approaches.

Pedro’s path reflects rapid self-directed learning—moving from freelance work to senior engineering roles within a few years—demonstrating adaptability and a bias for shipping impact. Outside work he keeps a curious, experimental mindset (his GitHub bio hints at a playful, human side beneath the engineer).
