I'm a designer and developer based in Brazil. I studied game design and front-end development at a São Paulo university called Anhembi Morumbi. I have about 14 years of experience as a designer and 12 years as a front-end developer. For the past 8 years, I've been working remotely with American companies.
2003, 2005
Started learning front-end development on my own. I went through all kinds of stuff, including Flash ActionScript (yes, I stuck with that for many years).
Compsul | 2005, 2007
Graduated in basic front-end development in Espírito Santo do Pinhal, São Paulo, Brazil.
Anhembi Morumbi University | 2007, 2011
In 2007 I moved to São Paulo to study Game Design and Front-End Development at Anhembi Morumbi.
Advertising Agency | 2008, 2012
I joined an advertising agency called Agente Design in São Paulo as a trainee and worked with big clients. I was later promoted to web designer and stayed there for two years. That's where my passion for websites and apps was born.
Startup work | 2012, 2014
I started working remotely for a health startup based in São Paulo. The company wanted someone to build the visual language of the product, the front-end and the programming of core features. That's what I did until they were acquired in a million-dollar deal.
Soft Company | 2014, now
A social network designed exclusively for American stock market investors hired me, and since then I've been working remotely with various American companies. I started as a front-end developer and received stock options from the startup, staying with them until they were acquired. Working with California-based companies is always a delight, the time zone works out perfectly and I get to be challenged by some of the most fascinating technologies out there.
My goal is to make the user's life easier. That starts at the very first step of design, with solid experience in design and typography.
The easiest way to make users fall in love with a product is to give them a great front-end experience.
I work mainly with PHP and MySQL for web and WordPress. I also have experience with Python and Node.js.
Deep understanding of product development processes and methodologies, including Agile and Lean, which helps the team manage product lifecycles from ideation to launch and beyond.
Years of experience helping businesses improve their visibility and performance in search results.
I use many other tools every day to improve product performance and teamwork.
I'd like to invite you to take a look at my portfolio, which showcases some of my most recent and successful projects.
See all my workGersen is a skilled front-end developer, a dedicated employee and a valuable team member. Highly recommend.
Gersen is a committed, high-integrity team player. Very detail-oriented and always learning new skills and technologies. Gersen was a big help for Nvestly.
We worked together on Founders Network, so I can say Gersen is a highly qualified specialist. He learns new skills, frameworks and tools quickly, and can work with any complex project or codebase to ship a working product as fast as the business needs it.
