As the Director of the Global Entrepreneurship Alliance, I'm proud to recommend Douglas Gouveia. If you are looking for a good developer and someone able to manage projects so they get done, he is someone I can strongly recommend. Over the last 2 years Douglas worked almost 18 months. The work he finished is impressive. Douglas consistently surprised me with his tenacity, and willingness to do whatever it takes to get something done. He was professional and always a good team player. What I especially liked about Douglas is his willingness to take responsibility when things went wrong or needed to be improved. He is someone a company, a team can count on.
§01 · About
A clear plan first. Then the app, built with AI.
I am an AI Product Builder and a full-stack developer. I build apps end to end with AI, secure, fast and well designed, working across product, design and engineering from the first idea to launch. For more than four years I have designed and built apps for founders and companies in Brazil, Finland, the United Kingdom and the United States: marketplaces, CRMs, subscription platforms, accounting tools and content platforms. I also implement AI inside businesses: I map how a team works, find the slow steps, and build the AI workflows and internal tools that remove them. Today I build every app full stack with Claude Code, with Next.js, TypeScript and Supabase as my main stack. Each project starts with the plan written down: the architecture, the data model and the acceptance criteria. A Master's in Engineering Management and a Senior Bubble Developer certification sit behind the work.

§02 · Path
No-code taught me to see the whole system at once.
Today I build every app with AI, full stack, with Claude Code and a main stack of Next.js, TypeScript and Supabase. What makes the difference is the way of thinking I built over more than four years of Bubble projects for clients around the world.
I started my career as a full-stack no-code developer on Bubble. Building whole apps alone gave me a wide view of software architecture: frontend, backend, UI/UX, database structure, APIs, reusable elements, security and performance, all designed together at the same time. I plan those before the build starts, and AI builds on that plan.
They also taught me to look at a problem from another angle when the first approach does not work. A component does not do what the client needs, a workflow grows too complex, or a feature built months ago gets hard to maintain. The answer is to understand the problem better, not to force the first idea.
I bring that habit to every AI build. For you, it means an app planned around your data and your users, tested the way your customers will use it, and a developer who keeps looking for the right fix when something does not work.
§03 · Career
Five roles. The same habit in each: understand the problem before building.

§04 · Services
Six ways I bring AI into your product and your operations.
Every project starts the same way: a written architecture, a data model and acceptance criteria before the first build, and a change log after it. You always know what is being built and why.
- 4.1
AI Product Building
Secure, fast, well-designed apps built end to end with Claude Code, Lovable and Figma Make: frontend, backend, database, APIs and UI/UX as one system. Next.js and Supabase as the main stack.
- 4.2
AI Implementation
AI brought into how a business works: modular agent skills, structured context files, and acceptance criteria that test AI outputs for accuracy before a team relies on them.
- 4.3
AI Automation
A business process mapped end to end, the slow steps found, and AI-driven workflows designed to remove them, connected through APIs such as Stripe, OpenAI, HubSpot, Salesforce and Slack.
- 4.4
AI Enablement and Operations
Company OS infrastructure: SOPs, OKR frameworks, Project Playbooks and AI-driven internal tools, plus recorded tutorials that teach a team to build on its own.
- 4.5
App Architecture and Data Modeling
The structure an app grows on: data model, user roles, workflows and integrations planned before the build. For new apps and for Bubble apps ready for their next stage.
- 4.6
UI/UX Design and Prototyping
Figma Make prototyping that carries a design through to a responsive product. From clickable wireframe to finished screens.

7 recommendations from LinkedIn, quoted in full and unedited. They pass by as you scroll.
I can warmly recommend Douglas for software projects especially built with Bubble.io. The biggest strength of Douglas is his deep technical and business logic understanding. He works very hard to make sure the software is done by the best of his abilities. Douglas is also a fast learner and is constantly improving his skills. We in Finland work with trust and honesty, and Douglas has for sure proven his reliability.
I had the opportunity to work with Douglas on a relatively complex project involving full-stack development, payment API integrations, and non-trivial business logic. I can say with confidence that he is the type of developer who truly solves problems. Douglas possesses a trait worth more than any specific tech stack: autonomy. He doesn't just execute tasks — he understands the problem as a whole, asks the right questions, proposes improvements, and follows through until he finds a solid solution. Another strong suit is his product-minded thinking and critical sense. He doesn't simply bow to pressure for deliveries that lack a technical foundation. I have also seen him take over problematic systems and bring order to the house. In short, Douglas is a developer with an ownership mentality, strong execution capabilities, and a rare combination of autonomy, product vision, and technical resilience.
I had the pleasure of working with Douglas for over eight months on a highly complex project, and throughout that time he consistently demonstrated a high level of professionalism. He was reliable with timelines, communicated clearly, and applied thoughtful, effective techniques to solve challenging problems. Douglas handled both the backend and frontend development of the platform using Bubble, while also optimizing performance using Supabase. The end result was a robust sales tool designed to help users research accounts efficiently, and his contribution was instrumental in bringing it to life.
Working with Douglas was a game-changer for our platform's development. As a Certified Senior Bubble Developer, he handles intricate code-like logic and custom states that most developers find daunting. He moved us from a simple MVP to a high-performance system capable of handling thousands of users without breaking a sweat. His UI/UX design competency ensured that the final product was not only functional but also intuitive and highly responsive.
Douglas worked with Blur Studio as a Bubble developer and Operations Manager. He played a crucial role in setting up processes for managing operations, executing on large projects and making sure we had meaningful checkpoints to manage each of them well. He was also instrumental in executing on several projects himself using tools like Bubble and Lovable to help founders create, validate and launch startups with web and mobile apps. He showed great promise and has constantly been pushing himself to learn, grow and improve his skills with nocode, AI and project management.
Douglas worked with us at Move37 from June to October 2026 as an AI Product Builder. His job was to take a brief for an application and turn it into working software, and he did that across several projects at once, often in quite different domains. His biggest piece of work was our Accountancy Automation tool. He built it from scratch to a working MVP with bookkeeping, working papers and an email feature, all implemented securely. He also developed our Growth Machine, which set out how we'd run social content at scale. What stood out was his speed. He could take a brief, work out what it really needed and build it quickly. He tested his own work properly, so what he handed over did what it was meant to do. And where a brief had gaps, he thought it through and came back with better ideas rather than waiting to be told. He kept track of the work he did and provided regular updates on his progress. He's easy going and easy to work with, and his enthusiasm for technology comes through in everything he builds. He understood the technical detail of his work inside out and was reliable on deadlines. I'd recommend him for demanding technical roles that involve building and shipping full-stack applications.
