GIL NETO
Full-Stack Architect & Product Engineer
I architect, deploy, and maintain end-to-end systems — from Next.js products to containerized Hetzner infrastructure. Specializing in B2B utilities that eliminate operational bottlenecks.
Philosophy
→Infrastructure-First
I believe in owning the full stack. From Nginx reverse proxies and Redis queues to centralized observability with Better Stack, I build backends that don't wake me up at 3 AM. Everything containerized. Everything reproducible.
→AI-Leveraged Execution
I use AI coding agents heavily to eliminate boilerplate and accelerate delivery — which means I spend my time on system architecture, database design, and complex API integrations rather than scaffolding. High velocity without cutting corners.
→Business Logic First
Code is a tool to solve business friction. I focus on building stateless, low-liability utilities with high operational impact — products that earn their keep. Scope is sacred; complexity is a liability.
