Adilson M. Bacelar
Builder. Available for hire.
I'm Adilson Mendes Bacelar — a London-based Senior Software Engineer with 12+ years of experience building scalable mobile, web, and backend systems. Strong in TypeScript ecosystems (React, React Native, NestJS), event-driven architectures, and high-volume data processing. I specialise in simplifying complex systems, improving reliability and performance, and owning features end-to-end — from architecture through production observability. Beyond the code, I am passionate about reading, enjoying lively BBQs, and socialising with friends. Whether diving into a new book or grilling up something delicious, I bring the same enthusiasm and dedication to my work.
