Pedro Darma
Full-Stack & Mobile Engineer
I build backends, real-time systems and the mobile apps that run on them — Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Redis and WebRTC on the server, React Native and Flutter on the device. 19+ years shipping for startups and international teams across the US, Australia, Germany and Brazil.

2023–2025
Facetok — real-time video interpretation for US hospitals. iOS, Android and web apps on a Node.js, GraphQL and PostgreSQL backend.
- Moved video calls from Vonage/OpenTok to WebRTC on Mediasoup to cut platform costs
- Improved connection stability by 30% and reduced build times by 40%
- Rebuilt CI/CD on Expo EAS, shipping smaller changes as over-the-air updates

Cryptom · My own product
Automated crypto trading on real-time market data.
- Follows 12 USDT markets over Binance WebSockets across 6 timeframes, computing SMA, EMA, MACD and RSI on every candle close
- Services talk over WebSockets through a broker built for Cryptom, and run in Docker across Google Cloud, Fly.io and a home server
- Table partitioning keeps ~78M candles (12 pairs × ~6.5M), plus the computed moments that double it, fast to query and retain

2014–2017
Mobility platform born inside Getset, the company I founded in Belo Horizonte — native iOS and Android apps for riders and drivers, backed by a few investment rounds.
- Beacon-validated arrivals at partner venues, plus a CMS where venues managed their own settings
- Route optimization and shared rides
- Moved from MySQL to PostgreSQL to use PostGIS for service areas; high-volume driver-location writes moved to Redis
