Hi, I'm Vinicius

Staff Software Engineer — 15+ years building large-scale software. Previously Staff Engineer at ClickFunnels, where I architected the 2.0 React page editor and the Cloudflare-Workers edge SSR pipeline behind the product.

About

Software engineer with 15+ years shipping large-scale software — product platforms, editors, compilers, runtimes, and edge systems. I work comfortably from the language and runtime layer up to the product surface, and I'm most useful on systems where the default stack runs out of room and the architecture has to be designed deliberately.

Strengths: system architecture, performance and scaling work, editor and tooling design, cross-stack ownership, and technical leadership on long-running platform rewrites.

Open to consulting engagements, collaborations, and select senior / staff engineering roles where the technical problem is real and the team is sharp.

Work Experience

Architected the ClickFunnels 2.0 React page editor and the edge SSR pipeline — a custom renderer on Cloudflare Workers with Upstash, ~200ms TTFB globally even for dynamic pages — and designed a proprietary HTML + Liquid component language for editor primitives.

Staff-level technical leadership across the rewrite: collaborated with product, platform, and infrastructure teams, and contributed to performance, reliability, and developer-experience work on a product used by tens of thousands of paying customers.
