Kotlin + React Development

Brazilian Federal Court of Accounts (TCU)

As a senior developer for key projects that tracked government spending, I helped develop new modules to track signs of misuse of funds, with multiple sources of data, and complex validation procedures that signaled the probability of fraud.

  • Created multiple validations, integrating multiple datadources, to detect fraud.
  • Worked on cross-functional teams, onboarding new team members and fostering a collaborative team culture
  • Our software was capable of identifying and alert to stop the spending in the early stages of the fraud
  • Won the 2023 “Reconhe-Ser” Award, a yearly award the TCU gives to projects that most impacted the capability and speed of the court on catching irregularities.
