Having had a wide variety of roles including backend developer, quality engineer, devops, architect, full stack, big data engineer, research software engineer, and frontend developer.

I am fluent in English and Portuguese. I have an intermediate level of Spanish and of Japanese, and basic of French and Te Reo M=aori.
I value the impact of the project (e.g. work on climate change, accessibility, inclusion, open data, disease control, education, research, etc.) over technology and salary. I am a New Zealand tax resident, able to work in person in New Zealand, Australia, and Latin America - otherwise visa sponsorship is required.
