Marcelo can take a high-level goal and provide a shippable code. To do so, he can readily learn most technologies as he goes. He cares about the business implications of anything he builds, and he understands the balance between craft, speed, and the bottom line. Moreover, he thinks technologies are about tools and trade-offs, not an ideology. Marcelo has over eight years of experience building scalable applications in many technical and business domains.
