Hello everyone, my name is Gabriel Arruda. I am a Software Engineer and Cybersecurity enthusiast, currently completing my degree in Computer Science. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong foundation in software development and a deep passion for protecting systems from emerging threats. I have worked on building secure, scalable applications and am particularly excited about the intersection of engineering and security.
Programming Languages
C
Low-level, procedural language known for its speed and efficiency. It’s widely used in system programming and embedded systems.
Python
High-level, interpreted, and versatile. Known for its simplicity and readability, it’s used in web development, data science, and automation.
Rust
Systems programming language focusing on memory safety and concurrency without a garbage collector. It’s fast and used for performance-critical applications.
C#
High-level, object-oriented language developed by Microsoft. Commonly used for desktop, web, and game development (especially with Unity).

Key Skills
Security Best Practices
Security should never be overlooked. From data encryption to protection against common attacks like SQL injection and XSS, I’ll help you secure your systems and data by creating safe solutions for your business.
Cloud Computing & DevOps
Building scalable and cost-effective systems based on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud is central to the business world today. I work with cloud infrastructure, containerization with Docker, and building CI/CD pipelines, easing deployment and making it automated, highly available, and fault-tolerant.
Clean Code & Best Practices
Writing clean, readable, and secured code is the basic key behind the long-term success of software. My aim is to keep your codebase as clean, simple, and maintainable as possible so that it can be easily read and expanded in the future by other developers. Let's forge software that stands through time and highlights security issues.
Agile Development
Agile methodologies are important for high-quality software to be delivered fast and iteratively. I’ve had a hands-on experience with Scrum and Kanban, where I have been a part of a cross-functional team figuring out the priority of work, improving processes, and delivering value to the customers in short and frequently occurring sprints.
Software Architecture
Building scalable, maintainable, and robust applications is my passion. Whether it is microservices or monolithic architectures, on-premises or cloud solutions, I work with you to design the best approach that suits your needs. Using principles such as Domain-Driven Design(DDD), I ensure that the application remains flexible and future-proof.
Cross-Platform Integration
This global era demands you to reach out to your audience across multiple devices. Be it mobile has embedded web app integration or consistency across multiple environments; I could create a seamless cross-platform experience for you. Through implementing modern frameworks and APIs, I will ensure that your application runs seamlessly across systems, mobile, and anything in between.
Core Values
Adaptability
The tech world is ever-evolving, and so must I. I actively search for opportunities to broaden my knowledge and my use of newer tools, technologies, practices, frameworks, other team's workflows, or switching development approach. I wish to remain flexible and highly adaptable toward each change, as these are important for continued success in this line of work.
Collaboration
The best solutions undertake diverse perspectives. I believe in congenial communication, honest feedback, and a concerted effort with others-whether it is fellow developers, designers, product managers, or other stakeholders. I will work tooth and nail to see that each voice has been given oyce and that we are walking toward the same goal in equal strides.
Scalability
Programming must evolve as the company grows. While writing software, I will always think of how it will scale-and this also at a level beyond just adding features, but in terms of performance and maintainability. I shall build solutions that would easily adapt when demand increases, user growth, or with increasing feature requests, causing no bottlenecks or technical debt.
Transparency
Clear and honest communication is key to any successful project. I normally keep my team informed about my progress, hurdles, and other roadblocks very early on in the process. I believe that transparency fosters trust among the team and helps us all stay aligned and react quickly to changes or issues whenever they arise.
Efficiency
I find it easier to remove unnecessary code than to introduce new features. Software development is more difficult because of feature creep and a lack of focus. I actually rely on the principles drawn from Extreme Programming, UNIX, and Test-Driven Development to produce elegant, scalable solutions. If a feature is not in line with those values, I'm going to raise my voice for quality and sustainability down the line.
Contact
If you're interested in collaborating on a project, whether it's for professional work or a free/open-source software initiative, don't hesitate to reach out. I’m always open to exploring new ideas and teaming up on exciting opportunities. Feel free to send me an email, and we can discuss how we might work together to create something meaningful.
