Professional summary

I am an AI-first front-end developer, tech-savvy since I was a kid. Technology was never a trend for me. It is the core. Cursor, Gemini Pro and Claude are in my daily work, for code, copy, review and delivery. The result still looks like mine and stays clean. I build with current React, Next.js, Astro and TypeScript. The site has to look like authority and it has to convert.

I have more than 15 projects live. They load in about one second and feel cinematic. Speed is conversion. Strategy, user journey and data start in the code. SEO and Core Web Vitals 90+ are part of the product. On the website sales funnel for J&G Soluções Elétricas e Refrigeração, CTR went above 10%. I had to freeze the traffic because the client could not handle more demand.

At Joestar Media I do not only ship the website. I create brands, do graphic design and run paid traffic. This work comes from real operations: about three years in national retail (Lojas Cem, Vivo and Casas Bahia), with sales consulting, section ownership, store systems, persuasion training and objection handling. I have also run funnels as an affiliate, in dropshipping, and as a traffic manager for local businesses. I run my own company. At JBS and Ambev I spent one to two years as an administrative and logistics assistant.

Development, technology and digital marketing

Joestar Media

2018 to present

Founder. Development, digital marketing and operations

Lagoa da Prata, MG, Brazil

  • More than 15 live projects in React, Next.js, Astro and TypeScript, with premium design and high performance.
  • Sites built to convert: about one second to load, Core Web Vitals 90+, structural SEO and data to decide from.
  • GSAP and Tailwind motion only when the story needs it. Cinematic look without a heavy site.
  • AI-first workflow: Cursor, Claude and Gemini Pro in the daily cycle of code, copy, review and speed.
  • Brand creation and visual identity, so the client leaves with a name and a face, not only a page.
  • Graphic design for campaign pieces and digital assets.
  • Paid traffic (Meta Ads and Google Ads) for my own work and for local businesses, with copy written to convert.
  • At J&G Soluções Elétricas e Refrigeração, a website sales funnel hit more than 10% CTR. Traffic had to be frozen because the client could not handle more demand.
  • I run the company: clients, scope, deadlines, money, domains, deploy and support.
  • Funnels I operated myself as an affiliate and in dropshipping, from the offer to checkout.

Projects and portfolio

Sites, brand and acquisition funnels

J&G Soluções Elétricas e Refrigeração
Website sales funnel in the refrigeration niche. CTR above 10%. Traffic had to be frozen because the client could not take more demand. That is the result I aim for: ads stop because the operation is full, not because nobody clicked.
Delivery volume
More than 15 projects live at joestar-portfolio.vercel.app/en.
How the work is built
Each project is custom. No generic template. Current architecture, instrumented data, code that lasts, and finish for a demanding market.
Beyond development
The same operation includes brand creation, graphic design and paid traffic. This resume is from someone who builds the asset and also makes it sell.

Professional strengths

  • Business judgment

    I tie technical decisions to the funnel and to cash. I know what a lead needs to hear because I have closed on the floor and paid for ads myself.

  • Sales method

    Sales consulting, section ownership, persuasion frameworks, objection handling and formal high-volume retail training, including Casas Bahia’s in-house Sales University.

  • Autonomy

    I pick up new stack fast, solve architecture on my own and ship without a large team. The AI-first loop multiplies that.

  • Pressure

    I have moved between a retail floor, industrial logistics and high-finish digital work. Martial arts and high-performance sport keep the body honest and the mind sharp.

Commercial, administrative and operations experience

Before and beside the digital work, I built a base in high-volume sales, administration and logistics inside demanding national operations. That shows up now in the funnel, the copy and how a project is run.

Lojas Cem · Vivo · Casas Bahia

About 3 years in total

Sales consulting and section ownership

High-volume national retail

  • Front-line sales consulting: read the customer, make the case and close against high quotas.
  • Ownership of a floor section. Pace, organization and area results, not only a personal ticket.
  • Store systems for catalog, inventory, credit, orders and target tracking.
  • Ongoing sales training: persuasion frameworks, objection handling, scripts and buyer behavior.
  • Completed Casas Bahia’s Universidade de Vendas, the network’s internal commercial training program.

Own digital acquisition and client traffic

Affiliate, dropshipping and local traffic management

Remote

  • Affiliate funnels with direct responsibility for offer, page, ads and conversion.
  • Dropshipping from the storefront to order logistics, including stock gaps, ticket size and customer friction.
  • Traffic for local businesses (Meta Ads and Google Ads): budget, creative, audience and copy aimed at bookings and WhatsApp.

JBS · Ambev

1 to 2 years

Administrative assistant and logistics

National-scale industrial and consumer operations

  • Administrative support: documentation, information flow and help for decision-makers.
  • Logistics: throughput, deadlines, checks and operational discipline in a high-volume environment.
  • Together with running Joestar Media, this closes the picture. I can build the asset and run the company that delivers it.

Education and training

  • Universidade de Vendas, Casas Bahia

    Completed in-house program. Applied commercial training: method, objections, argumentation and high-volume network standard.

  • Marketing and conversion

    Advanced coursework in paid traffic and sales funnels (Thiago Boeira) and brand building through Marca Milionária (Deniel Penin).

  • Technology (self-taught)

    Independent work in modern web architecture, clean code and an AI-first development loop.

  • Secondary education

    Completed in Brazil.

Languages

  • Portuguese · Native
  • English · Intermediate. I read, write and speak. I can stall on a word now and then, but I communicate.

Discipline, sport and field work

  • Martial arts and high-performance sport

    I train martial arts and high-demand sport. It keeps the body in balance and the mind sharp. That is the same standard I bring to deadlines, targets and finish.

  • Private security

    That physical presence also led to occasional private security work: attention, posture and control in rooms that do not allow sloppy focus.
