Product Engineer — Design + Fullstack

AI Specialist

15+

years building digital products

Product Engineer who owns both sides: I design and ship the complete digital product — from prototype to fullstack React/TypeScript application in production, no handoff, from discovery to metrics. And I use AI beyond autocomplete: spec-driven development, orchestrated agents, version-controlled prompts, and evals ensuring quality before deploy — MVPs shipped in days, not months.

06About me
Wellington Mota

I close the gap between design and code: research, design, and ship.

I am a Product Engineer at the intersection of design systems, component architecture, and user-centered product thinking. From UX research and high-fidelity prototypes to fullstack applications in production — React/TypeScript integrated with REST and GraphQL APIs.

15+ years in product design and 3+ years shipping front-end on modern stacks (React, Next.js, Node.js). Degree in Systems Analysis and Development, MBA in Fullstack Development. I thrive on lean teams where one person can own the entire experience — cutting delivery time and handoff noise.

Questions?

“Didn’t find what you were looking for? Reach out — I’ll tell you everything about how I can help with your product.”

Response time

Within 24h

Do you really do both design and development?

Yes. I own both sides: UX research and high-fidelity design, plus React/TypeScript implementation in production. This eliminates the handoff and drastically reduces delivery time.

Do you work remotely?

Yes. Based in Brasília, Brazil, and open to fully remote opportunities, including international — fluent English, with experience serving clients in the UK and US.

What does your workflow look like?

Discovery → Design → Development → Delivery. With feedback checkpoints at each stage and metrics (analytics, A/B testing) to validate product impact.

What technologies do you work with?

React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Tailwind, and REST/GraphQL integration on the dev side; Figma, design systems, and usability research on the design side.

How do you use AI in your work?

Far beyond code autocomplete. I work spec-driven: the specification becomes the source of truth, and orchestrated agents in multi-step flows (with MCP) turn it into code. I version and test prompts as code, optimize cost/tokens (caching and model routing), and use LLM-as-judge evals to ensure quality before deploy — integrating AI features directly into the product UI.

Are you a "vibe coder"? Just throw prompts and accept whatever comes out?

No. "Vibe coding" means requesting code and hoping it works. I do Design Engineering: I design the experience and implement it with production discipline — version-controlled and tested prompts, evals with CI gates before deploy, cost and token control, design system as the single source of truth, accessibility and performance. AI is a tool under engineering, not a crutch: I understand, review, and take responsibility for what goes to production.
