Vitalino Silva – Fullstack Javascript Engineer and WebApp Developer
I am a Javascript engineer and front-end developer with nearly two decades of experience building scalable, testable, and modular high-quality custom web applications using modern front-end frameworks.
I am specialized in software architecture with Hexagonal Architecture (Ports & Adapters) and an advocate of Test-Driven Development (TDD).
Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated on numerous projects for national and international clients. Along the way, I’ve partnered with, learned from, and mentored talented people to deliver exceptional products.
I’m naturally curious, approachable, and committed to continuous improvement.
