Hey, I'm Gusttavo CastroI started as a software developer in 2023, working with Next.js and Fastify.

I'm the Mid-Level Backend Developer at at Stratus. Before that, I was a Jr. Software Developer at Adaptworks. I'm originally from Brazil and now living in Sao Paulo with my amazing family.

I love dark mode, developer experience, and side projects. When I'm not working, I like running, watching movies, and eating coxinha.
