Anderson Alves · Senior full stack engineer

Full stack with production scars: from services under load to the UI.

At Mercado Livre I kept high-traffic microservices running. Now I build products with TypeScript, Node.js, and React — from deploy to maintenance.

Open to remote. TDD and CI/CD daily. Generative AI only when it speeds delivery without lowering the bar.

At Mercado Livre I ran high-traffic services with Kotlin, Java, and Spring Boot — platforms and APIs that could not go down.

Today I ship UI and API together in Node.js, TypeScript, and React. I'd rather write code the team understands in a year than a shortcut no one can explain.

Selected projects

Open systems, with decisions and evidence in view.

Two projects where architecture, operational boundaries, and verifiable quality are part of the product.

Developer tooling · open source

public alpha · v0.1.0

Prosa

An orchestration engine that makes coding-agent workflows bounded, reviewable, and auditable.

Problem

Autonomous agents accelerate delivery, but increase risk when execution, approval, and evidence are mixed together.

Architecture decision

Split the flow into explicit stages: validated specification, confined execution, deterministic gates, review, and human decision.

My role

Author, architect, and engineer — from the risk model through implementation and release.

Backend platform · template

release · v0.1.0

Hypatia Nest Starter

A NestJS 11 foundation for observable, event-driven services, with operational decisions already integrated.

request / eventNestJSPostgreSQLRedisRabbitMQhealth + telemetry
Problem

Every new service repeated the work of setting up persistence, messaging, observability, health checks, and basic protections.

Architecture decision

Ship a reusable foundation with three archetypes, secure defaults, and infrastructure decoupled from business logic.

My role

Hypatia founder, architect, and template maintainer, including quality, security, and adoption experience.
