Software Engineer in Cascavel and Toledo, Paraná, Brazil
Full stack in the literal sense: front end, back end and the infrastructure underneath. Companies looking for a software engineer in Cascavel or Toledo usually need someone who solves the whole system, not one layer of it.
What a software engineer does for your company
A software engineer is not a programmer by another name. Programming is one part of the job; the other is deciding what should exist, how it connects to what already exists and what happens when it fails. That second part separates a system the company operates from a system the company suffers.
In Toledo, Cascavel and the region, most companies that contact me already have a system: an adapted ERP, a portal, a sales app, an integration with a cooperative or with the government. The work starts by understanding that system as it is, patches included, and only then deciding what to build, what to fix and what to leave alone.
How I work
A one-hour first conversation, free of charge, where I listen to the problem and return a direct diagnosis: what the system needs and where it will break. Then a proposal with written scope, dated deliverables and acceptance criteria. I work with the team the company already has or deliver alone, but either way the documentation stays with you.
The reference stack is TypeScript, Next.js, Node.js and PostgreSQL on Linux, Cloudflare and AWS. I also maintain and evolve systems in PHP, WordPress and MySQL, because that is what much of the region runs on, and nobody should rewrite a system just because a language went out of fashion.
Where I work
Based in Toledo. On site in Cascavel, Foz do Iguaçu, Marechal Cândido Rondon, Medianeira, Palotina, Assis Chateaubriand, Umuarama, Francisco Beltrão, Pato Branco and Guarapuava, and also in São Paulo, Goiânia, Curitiba and the other capitals. Remote anywhere in Brazil or abroad, in Portuguese or English, with projects delivered in 19 countries.
What you receive
A system in production, code versioned in your repository, architecture and operations documentation, a deploy pipeline, monitoring and a maintenance plan. And one rule I do not negotiate: no known failure goes without an owner.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a software engineer in Cascavel or Toledo?
It depends on scope. I work by fixed project when the scope is clear, or by period when the company needs a senior engineer inside the team for a few months. The first conversation is free and already ends with an estimate.
Do you build web systems and applications?
Yes. Web systems, portals, multi-tenant platforms, APIs, integrations and web-based applications. The focus is the system working in production, with security and observability, not just passing the demo.
Do you take over a system someone else built?
Yes, that is the most common case. I start with a short audit to understand what exists, and only then propose what to change. Rewriting from scratch is the exception, not the rule.
Do you work with small companies?
Yes. A good share of the 600 projects were small and medium companies. What changes is the size of the scope, not the rigour.
