Hey, I'm Victor Bicudo — a Senior Frontend Engineer, Tech Lead, and Co-Founder who genuinely loves building things on the web.
It started when I was a teenager. My cousin showed me HTML and CSS for the first time, and something clicked. It felt like drawing with logic — like you could make anything appear on a screen just by thinking it through carefully enough. I was hooked immediately.
But life doesn't always follow the obvious path. I drifted away from it for a while, tried other things, felt lost. It wasn't until I was 24, standing at one of those uncomfortable crossroads, that I decided to stop drifting and actually commit. I enrolled in college, dove headfirst into programming, and haven't looked back since.
That was over 9 years ago. Since then I've worked across startups and large companies, contributed to products used by millions of people in Latin America, and learned what it actually means to build software that has to work — at scale, under pressure, and for real users. Places like Mercado Livre and PagBank taught me a lot about that. So did the smaller teams, where you wear more hats and feel the weight of every decision a little more directly.
My day-to-day mostly lives in React, Next.js, and Node.js, but I work across the full stack — TypeScript, AWS, Docker, PostgreSQL, MongoDB. More than any specific tool though, I care about the things that make software genuinely good: performance, developer experience, clean architecture, design systems that actually scale. I've led frontend teams, built micro frontend platforms, and shipped design systems adopted across more than 10 applications.
Right now I'm focused on Disrupta, a company I co-founded — an AI platform that helps entrepreneurs and product teams take raw ideas and turn them into structured, actionable decisions. I lead all the technical work there: frontend architecture, AI integration, infrastructure. It's the kind of project that pulls everything together, and it's been one of the most challenging and rewarding things I've built.
I'm also finishing a Bachelor's degree in Artificial Intelligence at FIAP, which feeds directly into how I think about the products I want to build going forward. AI applied to frontend workflows and product personalization is where a lot of my curiosity lives right now.
This site is where I write things down. Architecture decisions, lessons from real projects, thoughts on building better software. Not polished content for its own sake — just things I actually think about and want to share, because I believe the best parts of this industry happen when people talk openly about what they're figuring out.
If you're a developer, a recruiter, or just someone who cares about the craft behind good software — welcome. Dig around, read something, reach out if anything resonates.
Let's build things worth building.
