ABOUT ME

🟢 ~500 5★ Jobs. Sr Dev 15yrs of experience – TS JS React Node Angular

I specialize in Typescript, NextJS, NodeJS, React, and Postgres, as well as the ecosystems surrounding these technologies.

I am a software developer with over fifteen years of experience. I have worked with agencies, startups, and large companies in industries ranging from entertainment to government. As a long-time freelance consultant, I've been exposed to a plethora of different codebases and I can quickly dive deep into complex environments and tasks.

As someone highly engaged in the startup scene and business in general, I consider myself a product-oriented developer who strives for helping my team to grow efficiently by balancing product development alongside controlled long-term tech debt, optimal developer experience and culture.

I've more than 400 jobs and 200+ 5-star reviews as a consultant/mentor on https://www.codementor.io/@gabrielalmeida. They mostly look like this:

"Best mentor, I've worked with. Gabriel's skillset is on another level. Always great working with him!"

"More than being a great developer, Gabriel is a wonderful mentor. His invaluable advice helped me to understand my needs in web development better than ever. I highly recommend him to anyone needs help to make their projects better."

"Quality resource. Gabriel know's his way around code in his area of expertise. I did very detailed debugging with him, and he is not the type that gives up."

I'm using React on a daily basis for some years and I love the changes it has brought to the web ecosystem that disrupted many old and uncontestable beliefs! This is my preferred front-end framework.

This superset of Javascript is a must for a better development experience and catching errors by relying on static typing. I've been dealing with this "language" on day-to-day basis!

Gabriel helped me resolve the issue within less than 15 minutes. Once he pointed out the most probably root cause and how we could check it, I was able to spot the issue almost immediately myself and implement the solution.
