Hey, I'm Gabriel. 👋🏻

Currently Lead Engineer at TestBox. I run the integrations team - designing architecture, building, mentoring engineers, and making sure things don't break - that much.

Over 8 years I've done a bit of everything: ETL pipelines, Android apps, legacy migrations. Specialized in reverse-engineering third-party APIs when the docs didn't exist - and that might be the most fun.

Brazilian. Remote. Top 0.001% Catfish and the Bottlemen listener.
