Hi traveler, now officially, I want to welcome you, my name is Gustavo Campos Sales (a.k.a: Gus), the captain of this rocket and the person in the photo on the right. Being honest, I'm currently looks less like the Gus aside, because of course, this photo was taken a few years ago 🤣.

A hint: click on the photo and then you will be able to see me in an almost current version. So, did you notice the similarity? 😁

Traveling through my universe (website) you will find different planets (pages), this one is the "Journey", where you will know a little more about my career and trajectory. Are you ready?

I'm a senior software engineer, focused on frontend and passionate about backend, lover of coding anything that appears to me as a challenge.

Beyond a software engineer, I'm a husband of a gorgeous wife and a father of an amazing baby boy (who honestly looks a lot like me ♥️), I love to listen to music every day and cook a delicious BBQ.

I believe coding is more than just write lines and complex words. What give me gas to continue every day it's the purpose of improving people's lives through what I write in the IDEs, whether in personal projects or within companies, the goal is always the same: to leave a legacy and make a difference in someone's life. However, those people are not limited to final clients only. All people that already worked with me taught me something and also taught them, keeping always my main principles, that are: doing what you love is just fun, do something awesome, spread the bad news, communication is everything, be relentlessly resourceful, keep things simple, give feedback, be a leader everywhere, have ownsership feeling, think on client, learn from unnatural movements, be ready for new challenges.

I'm 15 years on the road and here I want to share my journey in a little more detail, i.e.: the companies I went through, where I studied and the awards I owned.

Fasten your seatbelt! 🚀

If you already watched Interstellar, for sure you know about the Miller Planet. My journey it's kind closer to this since 2009, when I had my first interaction with coding, until today, and for sure to the future. Well, one thing about me: I like sorting stuff, so my timeline will be described from present to past.

More details

Radiant Security is an AI Powered SOC Co-pilot to detect attacks and mitigate through incidents. Ship things fast was my main goal since from day one. I started working on Radiant Security in the first days of existence as a Founder Frontend Engineer, when I started the company had zero repos on GH, and I was responsible for creating all the frontend workspace. Today there is an awesome frontend monorepo using Typescript, Next.js, TailwindCSS, and other useful tools, a UI library with 50+ components - basically, we build pages like building lego - many other features and 2k+ tests running in an automated CI. I'm proud to be part of this because I learned a lot and understand how a company starts from zero to first and more clients.

Main skills

Next.js, React.js, TypeScript, TailwindCSS, Node.js, Storybook, UI library, Vercel, AWS, NX, CI, Jest, React Testing Library
