About Hugo Amorim

I design and build full-stack products — from first wireframe to production. One person, no handoffs, no wasted runway. I spent 10+ years as a graphic designer before switching to software engineering, and that background shows up in everything I build. I think about how something should look, how it feels, and how it works under the hood — all at the same time. I specialize in React, Next.js, and TypeScript on the frontend, Node.js, AWS, and Supabase on the backend. I\'ve shipped medical platforms and HVAC diagnostic apps at EY, environmental data dashboards at Project Canary, and serverless architectures at Robert Half that cut server costs by 90%. Most recently, I built SimpleSeverance — a SaaS platform that helps employees evaluate severance packages using AI-powered risk assessment. I designed the product, architected the database, built the full-stack application, and handled go-to-market. The whole thing, solo. Open to founding engineer roles, product engineer roles, and freelance product builds. If you need someone who can own the entire product — design, frontend, backend, deployment — I\'d love to chat.
