03 / PartnersA studio built by engineers who got tired of layers.
Brazil Tech Talent started because the three of us kept meeting the same problem inside larger organisations: the people who understand the system are three steps removed from the people who talk to the client. We removed the steps. You brief a partner, and that partner is in the codebase. We work with startups building an MVP, scale-ups adding an AI layer, and enterprises who need a small senior team that moves fast — from Brazil, overlapping with US and European hours.
Rafael owns the path from data model to deploy — APIs, front-ends, infrastructure and the release process around them. He designed and shipped Pointing, from the real-time layer to the accessibility pass, and he is the studio's bridge to European clients.
Highlights
- ▸Shipped Pointing: real-time planning poker for up to 100 voters, no signup
- ▸Kept it keyboard-complete, WCAG 2.2 AA and interactive in under 2.5s
- ▸The studio's bridge to European clients and their working hours

Rafael has spent more than a decade on production backends in Java, C#/.NET and Node.js, today as Senior Backend Engineer at Lumenalta. At the studio he owns what has to hold under load: domain modelling, service boundaries, the data layer and performance work. Years of shipping inside distributed, English-speaking teams mean he plugs straight into a client's process.
Highlights
- ▸10+ years of production backends across Java, C#/.NET and Node.js
- ▸Owns domain modelling, service architecture and data-layer performance on studio builds
- ▸Delivers inside distributed client teams, fully in English

Guilherme came to design from chemical engineering, and it shows: flows get modelled before they get styled. Over ten years he has designed product interfaces for construction, healthcare and e-commerce, most recently at Mosaic. At the studio he owns discovery, UI and the design system that keeps every screen — and every engineer — consistent.
Highlights
- ▸10+ years designing product UI for construction, healthcare and e-commerce
- ▸Owns discovery, UI and the design system on studio builds
- ▸Brings an engineer's rigour — flows modelled before pixels

What we hold to
Partners in the code
The person who scoped it writes it. No junior swap-out after the contract is signed.
Boring where it counts
Novel in the product, conservative in the infrastructure. Your on-call should be quiet.
Overlapping hours
Brazil-based — real overlap with both US and European working days.
