Gabriel Brandão Software Engineer

Full-stack developer focused on privacy-first, scalable software. I’ve shipped products with 200k+ downloads and build across PHP/JS, event-driven systems, and mobile. I care about speed, clarity, and craft.

About me

I’m a builder who enjoys turning raw ideas into clean, fast software with a crisp UX. I bias toward privacy-first choices, measurable performance, and shipping. I’ve worked across web, APIs, and mobile. Off the clock I hack on local-AI tools, tinker with hardware, walk to reset my head, play piano, read tech/history & hang out with friends 🍻
