Web Developer

Hi, I'm Vinicius Machado

I love solving problems. Give me an unclear problem and a deadline. I'll come back with something that works.

Speciality

What I do

Frontend Development

Interfaces that are fast, accessible, and maintainable. I care about the details users feel — performance, responsiveness, and clean component architecture.

Fullstack Apps

Services and APIs built to scale. Data modeling, auth, and the integrations that hold a product together.

UI & Design Systems

I own features from problem to production — architecture, build, tests, and deploy. Comfortable making the tradeoffs that ship good software on time.

About me

How I got here

I'm a fullstack developer living in São Paulo, Brazil. I have 6+ years of experience and have worked for over 3+ years on US-based projects. I got here by building — the fastest way I learn anything is to take the problem and start.

That's how the most recent challenge I've had happened. The goal was to make the API easier to use in Android apps. No spec, no scope. I worked out where the real friction was, decided what to build and what to leave out, and shipped a Kotlin SDK that turned repetitive boilerplate into a few method calls that created customizable cards. I'd never built an SDK before — I learned it by building it.

I like owning things end to end: the data underneath, the API in the middle, and the interface people actually touch. And I care more about shipping something people can use than about getting every detail perfect first.

Currently building my own projects and open to new opportunities.
