Full Stack Developer

From an operational problem to a product in production. I build systems in TypeScript: integrations, queues, and dashboards a team opens every morning.

Open to full stack roles and projects.

Hackathon

1st place at the DevDay Community Hackathon São Paulo.

Together with Miguel Vaz, we built Quebra-⁠Gelo (“Icebreaker”): a mission game that turns event networking into real conversation. Two people meeting is what moves the game forward.

Work

Two products in production.

I built Talentei end to end and have worked on Kanglu since the start of the project, connecting backend, frontend, data, and operations.

Kanglu

Tracking SaaS for e-commerce: one delivery timeline for merchant and customer, with automatic notifications at each step.

01/05Overview

Problem

Order shipped, the customer asking “where is it?”, and the merchant opening each carrier's site to find where the delivery stopped.

What I built

Bling (ERP) and J&T (carrier) integrations, status normalization into a single timeline, WhatsApp and email notifications per step, Redis queues, journey rules, and shipping dashboard screens.

Outcome

Customers are notified along the journey and the merchant sees shipping in one dashboard, not in carrier tabs.

Stack
NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Prisma, Redis, React, Vite

Talentei

B2B recruitment SaaS with AI: jobs, pipeline, psychometric tests, and candidate × job × leader × culture matching.

01/04Landing

Problem

Recruiting in spreadsheets and inboxes: scattered resumes, gut-feeling screening, and no record of why a candidate moved forward or stopped.

What I built

From database to UI. Multi-tenant with per-company isolation in PostgreSQL; DISC, Enneagram, and 16P tests with public links and PDF; resume extraction and matching on BullMQ/Redis queues, outside the request; LGPD as a flow, with consent and a candidate portal.

Outcome

Screening becomes a process with criteria and a trail: the recruiter opens a decision queue instead of digging through email attachments.

Stack
Next.js, React, TypeScript, Bun, PostgreSQL, Drizzle, Redis, BullMQ, Better Auth

Portrait of Julio Akamine

Before programming, I operated and set up machines in a factory. That is where my impatience with processes that only work if someone remembers to run them comes from.

Today I write the code, set up the server, and look after what runs afterwards: backend, frontend, database, queues, and the VPS where it all stays live. As AI advances, developing is no longer just code: it is thinking about the product.
