About Me

I'm Vinicius Salustiano, a .NET Developer, Bachelor's in Information Systems with professional experience building enterprise systems, and building front-end projects from scratch with Astro. Currently working at DevPartner, maintaining and developing systems for major clients such as BMW, Audi, and Leo Madeiras.

💼

Professional Experience

2+ years as .NET Developer at DevPartner, working with .NET, SQL Server, Stored Procedures, and APIs for enterprise systems. Maintained legacy ASP.NET Web Forms applications (C# and VB.NET), implemented Excel import/export systems processing large data volumes, billing processing, gamification, and worked on React and AngularJS admin dashboards. Previously intern at Ericsson developing full back-end systems with Java, Spring, REST APIs, and Docker/Kubernetes deployment.

🎓

Education & Learning

Bachelor's in Information Systems (2019-2023) at Centro Universitário Fundação Santo André (FSA) and Technical High School in Information Technology (2016-2018). Cambridge B2 First certification (2020), though my current English level is better in practice—often sounds fluent. I'm a quick learner—in 2 years I got promoted from Junior to Mid-Level developer, and as a side project I chose Astro for its island architecture system and how it represents the future of static content display, integrating seamlessly with modern frameworks like React, TypeScript, Alpine, Tailwind, and MDX.

🤝

Collaboration & Approach

Praised by my team leaders and colleagues as a proactive problem solver focused on code quality, testing, consistent deliveries, and as a reference for AI proficiency. In regards to AI, beyond prompt engineering and structuring, I bring strong contextual reasoning, bias awareness, model steering by selecting the right agents/modes, and practical MCP experience, using AI as a core part of my development workflow and architectural decision-making.

My back-end experience comes entirely from my professional work—maintaining and developing enterprise systems, working with Product Owners to refine requirements, and collaborating with cross-functional teams. At DevPartner, I've worked on platforms for partners, incentives, logistics, gamification, and points-based bonuses, handling large volumes of data and performance optimization. I've also worked with React and AngularJS on admin dashboards and end-user portals. AI is integrated into my daily workflow at work, helping me tackle complex problems, optimize code, and maintain high standards while delivering consistently. For my front-end personal projects, I chose Astro because of its island architecture system and how it represents the future of static content display and pages that don't need real-time data updates, plus its seamless integration with modern frameworks like React, TypeScript, Alpine, Tailwind, and MDX.

Astra Vitae became my personal project—600+ hours building with Astro + React + TypeScript + Alpine + Tailwind + MDX. This project helped me develop a fullstack mindset, combining my production back-end experience with modern front-end expertise. Working with AI throughout this journey, I learned to leverage AI not just for code generation, but as a collaborative thinking partner—validating architectural decisions, exploring trade-offs, and maintaining quality standards while accelerating development. SCL (Salustian Creative Labs) is now my portfolio studio name, and Astra Vitae demonstrates my ability to build production-ready, reusable components and templates that can accelerate future projects and freelancer work.
