Hi, I'm Erika Mello

Software Developer

Portrait of Erika Mello

>whoami

I'm a passionate software developer with a strong background in Java and backend development.

My Journey

I started my journey in tech during college, where I discovered my passion for coding. Since then, I've worked on various projects — from small apps to complex systems — always seeking to learn and grow.

My Approach

I value systemic thinking, structured design, and technical precision. I strive to deliver the best solution for each problem — even if it means going beyond what’s initially expected.

My focus is on building robust, secure, well-documented and performant systems, while keeping a clean codebase that is readable, and easy for others to maintain.
