Backend developer focused on Django REST and PostgreSQL. I also build Vue.js and Next.js frontends when the project calls for it.
Paulo PadilhaI've been a developer for over 3 years, focused on Django REST and PostgreSQL. Most of my time goes to the backend — APIs, integrations, async queues — and I also have hands-on experience with Vue.js on the frontend.
Notes, solutions, and what I'm learning along the way.
What I use day to day to ship APIs, integrations and frontends.
A sample of things I've built, from the CRM in production to the site you're browsing right now.
Promotional site for the UNAMA zoo. Beyond showcasing the animals, it raises awareness about rescues from abuse and helps gather donations to keep the work going.
Customer app for Resolve Energia Solar clients to track their solar installation — stages, documents and deadlines.
Institutional website for the Pará chapter of the Brazilian Federation of Gastroenterology.

I had the opportunity to work with Leonardo at Resolve Energia Solar during a period of accelerated company growth. With many challenges, processes to be defined, and multiple projects underway, it was essential to have proactive and committed people. Leo consistently proved himself to be a highly collaborative professional, actively participating in problem-solving and encouraging continuous improvement. His approach is user-centered, always seeking the best possible experience, while demonstrating excellent teamwork. In summary, Leonardo is a consistent, creative, and strategic professional. His communication is assertive and clear, directly contributing to the delivery of high-quality products and the growth of both the team and the company.
