Hello Everyone 
I am Paulo Renato, located in the United Kingdom (Scotland), and I am seeking a fully remote role as a Software Engineer, Developer Advocate, or to provide Advisory/Consulting Services. While I am open to traveling for company quarterly meetups/events, I am not available for weekly or monthly office presences.
I have over 14 years of experience as a Software Engineer, with 9 years focused on development and 5 years as a Developer Advocate for Mobile API Security.
I am a self-taught developer with a mindset of continuous learning. I advocate for clean code, clean architecture, API design-first, and adopting a security by default posture. As a Software Engineer, I enjoy making an impact on system architecture design to enhance security, resilience, performance, and developer productivity. As a Developer Advocate, I thrive on researching and creating proof of concepts (PoCs), quickstarts, and demos.
I am eager to work with languages such as Elixir, PHP, Python, Javascript and Golang, but I am not limited to these. I am also very keen on exploring roles in the AI space.
Let’s connect and build something great!
