Guilherme Cruz Software Engineer

Who I am

A frontend developer with a strong background in design and focus on interaction, usability, and performance.

What I do

I enjoy transforming complex requirements into clear interfaces. I also care about how software is made, contributing to documentation, team standards, automation, mentoring, and developer experience.

Goals

• Help teams build better, faster, and with less friction
• Think creatively to support collaboration beyond code
• Stay curious and share what I learn

Skills

Interaction Design

My early multimedia background defined how I approach interface design, focusing on usability and efficiency, and often contributing to motion and other visual work like iconography and infographics.

Frontend Development

From Flash to modern SPAs, I’ve spent most of my career working on interfaces. These days, my main stack revolves around VueJS and React, while collaborating on design systems and prototypes.

Backend Development

While frontend is my focus, I’m fully capable on the backend when needed. I’ve worked with PHP, Java, Node and more recently serverless platforms like GCP Functions or AWS Lambda.
