Passionate About People, Code & Impact

I'm Edson Souza, a Software Engineer with over 12 years of experience turning ambitious ideas into scalable, user-centered digital products. Whether I'm architecting systems, optimizing performance, or guiding teams, I bring a strong sense of ownership and a relentless focus on delivering value.

I specialize in full-stack JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystems, with advanced proficiency in React, React Native, Node.js, NestJS, and PostgreSQL, and a love for performance, DX, and modern architectures like Turborepo and microservices.

But beyond the code, I'm deeply invested in collaboration, mentorship, and continuous learning. I believe software is a team sport, and I actively contribute to building cultures where people grow and great ideas thrive.

When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring new tech, writing, or sharing what I've learned with the dev community.

Let's build something amazing, and meaningful, together.

Backstory

Edson's journey began in the mystical lands of Mato Grosso, Brazil, where curiosity sparked his early adventures in code. Over 12+ years, he evolved from a code apprentice into a cross-platform spellcaster, wielding frameworks and APIs with precision and empathy.

Whether resurrecting failing platforms, engineering complex multi-report modules in record time, or mentoring younger developers on their own quests — Edson brings deep focus, strategic clarity, and relentless care to every mission.

Today, he thrives in dynamic remote squads, mixing technology and teamwork to build scalable, delightful experiences. When he’s not coding, he’s sharing knowledge, testing new tools, or plotting his next innovation.
