Vanderlei Alves da Silva is a seasoned Frontend Architect with over 15 years of experience in designing and building distributed systems and cloud-native applications. His career is driven by a deep passion for system architecture and frontend development, helping industry-leading organizations to craft scalable, resilient, and user-focused software.
What drives Vanderlei is the belief that a well-crafted software has the power to solve real human problems — whether it is helping someone’s grandmother find what she is looking for on a webpage or solving complex organizational challenges at scale. For him, writing a code is more than just engineering; it is a form of storytelling — every function, every interface, and every design choice contributes to the evolving story of a system.
Throughout his career, Vanderlei has remained deeply committed to innovation and continuous learning. His work spans high-impact client/server applications, and cutting-edge frontend architectures designed to scale with the growing demand. He thrives on the technical and human challenges of building systems that grow gracefully, without compromising usability or performance.
As the author of Micro Frontends Architecture for Scalable Applications, Vanderlei brings together years of practical experience, hard-earned lessons, and forward- looking insights. This book represents not only a consolidation of his knowledge, but also a vision for the future of frontend architecture — especially as artificial intelligence begins to reshape how we build and scale modern applications. His aim is to empower developers and architects alike, to think systemically, build confidently, and architect software that truly serves people!
