Hey there,
I'm Debs.
I build back ends that don't wake anyone up at 3am, and front ends people actually enjoy.
Software engineer in Recife, Brazil. Nine years deep, mostly TypeScript and Python, now building AI features and the automation that quietly handles the boring parts. Always glad to pick up something new. These days the barrier to learning is basically gone.

the coral bar was a DNS thing.
it is always a DNS thing.
Selected work
three I'll talk your ear off about
PastaPet
liveRecords, schedules and reminders for people who love their animals. Mine end to end: data model, API, interface, deploy.
Vale Luz
liveAn app that turns recycling into discounts on your electric bill. Drop off recyclables, earn credit on the next bill.
e-sports duo
A cross-platform app to find your best gaming duos. Pick a game and connect with other players in real time through in-game chat.
Another dozen repos live on GitHub
ig News, Plant Care, Habits Track, Coffee Delivery and friends. Mostly things I built to learn something specific.
A bit about me
Computer Engineering at UFPE, class of 2019. My Master's thesis was on quantum algorithms, which I still bring up at parties.
I started as a backend intern and I'm still a backend person at heart, but somewhere along the way I fell for the front end too (thanks, Tailwind). Today I'm a senior engineer at Tawkify, building AI-powered matchmaking.
Nine years in, I've written a lot of languages. My favourite is still anything with TypeScript in it, but the stack keeps mutating and so do I.
Outside work: the pets, the beach at sunset, and the guitar. I'm not a good singer. I try anyway.
