Hey! I’m Vitor. I wake up with a big smile when I have new software to build.

I have been developing software for 15+ years. Usually my biggest contributions to projects are:

1) looking at the "big picture" and deciding the best path to solve the business problem at hand; most of the times it means combining great, stable and proven open-source software to serve as the basis of the project, customizing them here and there. Also, simplicity is the ultimate sophistication;

3) coming up with challenges and creative ways to motivate the team, in exchange for $$$ bonus or a day off. I've managed internal and external dev teams and budgets of more than +$10M;

2) coding the bits no one on the team wants to, those that requires more thinking and research than coding. I'm best in backend coding. I love figuring out and coding great UX, but I suck at making things look pretty and sexy. Nowadays I tend to use JavaScript or Python, but I still use PHP, .Net (VB, C#, ASP), C++ and Java - whatever is the best for the task at hand.

Sometimes I find fun projects on Upwork, you can check some of my client's feedback here, as well as the (very) different types of projects I've worked on: https://www.upwork.com/o/profiles/users/~01ef5120bd178f9fcc/

I've built several small businesses: corporate training, used car sales, business intelligence software, car repair shop. I love to talk business and marketing.

I'd love to partner with a more business oriented person/team. I'm super responsive. Fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
