ABOUT RAFAEL LEITÃO
I am not only a Frontend Developer with years of experience creating user-friendly and responsive web and mobile applications using React/React Native. What makes me stand out is my passion for UX/UI and Product and creating products enjoyable for users and impactful for business, an enthusiasm that spread through every aspect of my work.I see myself as a challenger, always seeking to think outside the box and bring fresh perspectives to discussions. At my core, I am a Product Engineer, driven not only by the quality of the software I develop but, more importantly, by the value it brings to users and the overall business.With this mindset, in my last position as a Frontend Engineer, I not only delivered various features with React/React Native to enhance the experience of different platforms or introduced best practices with Storybook and React Testing Library but also took a proactive approach to solving users\' problems. Collaborating closely with stakeholders, I actively sought their input and feedback, ensuring that the features delivered were aligned with their needs. Beyond that, I led user research initiatives, uncovering main pain points of our users, which served as a foundation for many future improvements.In my current role, my passion for the intersection of Tech, Product, and UX/UI is a driving force compelling me to promote better collaboration and enhanced outcomes. On the tech side, I strive to encourage effective communication and alignment among colleagues and focus on producing great quality code with clean principles while emphasizing testing and documentation for shared knowledge. In the Product and UX/UI spheres, I actively contribute by introducing diverse perspectives and raising thought-provoking questions, igniting discussions paving the way for the creation of great products.My enthusiasm extends beyond coding; it\'s about crafting solutions that seamlessly integrate technology, product excellence, and user-centric design.
