Senior software developer · São Paulo, Brazil · since 2004

I modernize the systems companies actually run on.

I am Rodrigo Carrapeta. For over 20 years I have been making systems from different eras coexist and evolve: from VB3 to Spring Boot, from Access to PostgreSQL, from the ERP to a React SPA.

Como Anda?

A public-utility site: live conditions on the mountain highways, ferries and tolls between São Paulo and the coast, from official sources. Stale data never vanishes: it shows faded, with the time it was collected.

How I can help

Through carrapeta.dev, I work with companies on three fronts.

01

Legacy modernization

Moving past an old system without stopping the business: piece by piece, old and new side by side.

02

Internal systems and ERP

Screens and APIs around the ERP (Protheus included) for what it does not do well on its own.

03

Privacy by design

Audit trails, data minimization and access control from the design up, not as a patch.
