Summary
Saulo Aguiar is a Software Engineer with 12 years of hands-on experience building full-stack systems across startups and larger organizations, fluent from infrastructure and databases to frontend and mobile. He has driven revenue-impacting features and operational savings—examples include a geo-localized search and classifieds categorization that unlocked $500k/year and a scheduling migration that cut vendor costs by ~$200k/year. Saulo is a pragmatic generalist who ships production services using React, Node.js, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch and AWS serverless, and routinely acts as a first responder on-call while mentoring junior engineers. He excels at aligning product scope and technical implementation early, which he credits for many successful deliveries and fewer production surprises. Based in Ceará, Brazil, Saulo pairs a master’s degree in Computer Science with a habit of asking the right questions to learn fast and deliver maintainable solutions. Outside work he balances code with creativity—surfing and playing drums—bringing the same curiosity and rhythm to engineering problems.
