EXPERIENCE
GATE
April 2015 — July 2017
Senior Product Developer
I’ve led a development team to build products for major clients like Coca-Cola and Nestlé.
We developed a mindset to build simple, modular and intercommunicable applications. The
tools have one purpose and one purpose alone, with non-obtrusive interfaces that making
people agile. We are building upon three main foundations: Small Acts Manifesto, The Zen
of Python and Wabi Sabi philosophy.
There I developed more than 5 different internal and some external products using Python
and Django, mostly based on social media and ads API like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram,
Google Ads and Admotion.
I helped develop our own SSO system and Django app so all our of products have a
unified login system to help increase the new products development and UX. I also helped
to prepare studies about Emotions in social media using Pandas.
Some product examples are real-time twitter emotion analysis, predict viral engagement in
Facebook posts, a unified timeline to follow brand competitors and digital influencers posts
on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube and Instagram.
