Júlio Carneiro
I build interfaces that perform. Fifteen years through newsrooms, hosting, FinTech, health, and Web3 — always at the intersection of software engineering and visual design.
Currently at VoA, architecting the frontend v3. Graphic Design education and 3D modeling background — I see product through a designer's eye and build through an engineer's.
About
I started building for the web in 2009, at Folha de S.Paulo. Fifteen years, several companies, a few failures, and many products that reached millions of people.
Graphic Design education and years of 3D modeling changed how I see the screen — not as a canvas of components, but as a visual space with intention. That lens is what makes my collaboration with UX/UI teams different.
Along the way, I architected e-commerce frontends that directly impacted revenue across Latin America, hit 100/100 on PageSpeed for Mitsubishi, delivered 100% test coverage at Munchies, and built Web3 platforms from scratch. Each project left a layer.
I contribute to the community by writing about frontend, mobile, and automation. I created open source libraries — ChordKit and TabKit — because I believe good tools multiply good products.
I believe good code is invisible. The user doesn't notice — and that's exactly the point.
