Summary
Wellington Júnior is a Senior iOS Engineer with over a decade of software experience and a strong academic foundation (MSc and BSc in Computer Science from UFMG, plus a software engineering specialization from PUC Minas). He has led mobile architecture and product development across startups and scale teams, most recently working on Beeper at Automattic and previously building native iOS and cross-platform apps for smart home and healthcare products. Wellington co-founded Bluelux, where he shipped thousands of IoT devices and grew the companion app to become Brazil’s top smart home app on Google Play, blending embedded systems, low-energy radios, and mobile software. He designs reactive, unidirectional architectures (MVI, DDD, Combine, SwiftUI) and establishes CI/CD and integrations to move products from prototype to production. His research on IEEE 802.15.4 networks and UAVs gives him uncommon depth in wireless sensor networks that informs robust Bluetooth and mesh integrations in consumer devices. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he combines hands-on implementation with product and systems thinking across mobile, embedded, and cloud backends.
