Profile: https://flows.cv/marcoescaleira

Full-stack Software Engineer with 6+ years of experience building scalable web and mobile applications. I work primarily with TypeScript across React, React Native and Node.js, and have hands-on experience owning AWS infrastructure in lean, high-accountability teams.

I love to build and care for reliable systems end-to-end - from product and architectural decisions through to CI/CD optimisation, observability and production support. Leading on-call rotations and improving delivery pipelines has shaped how I think about quality, resilience and long-term maintainability.

I’m motivated by working on products I genuinely believe in and by continuously pushing my technical and personal growth. I value proactive communication, strong teamwork and taking ownership of meaningful problems that drive real impact.
