Desenvolvimento de um sistema ERP para catadores: experiência na empresa Mapa SA

Abstract

This Undergraduate Thesis presents the professional experience of the student at Mapa.sa, working as a full stack software developer, highlighting the practical application of knowledge acquired during the Software Engineering undergraduate program. During the period of activity, the student participated in the development and maintenance of software systems, including the creation of an ERP system aimed at waste picker cooperatives, as well as the refactoring of institutional websites and the development of internal Python applications. The professional experience allowed the application of agile methodologies, such as Kanban, and the use of modern tools and technologies, including Next.js, React.js, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and AWS, promoting the integration between theory and practice. The work also emphasizes the importance of engagement with stakeholders and socio-environmental entities for requirements gathering, ensuring that the developed solutions met the real needs of the users. The thesis demonstrates the development of both technical competencies, such as programming, data modeling, and scalable system implementation, and interpersonal skills, including communication, leadership, organization, and teamwork. This practical experience provided a deeper understanding of the software development life cycle, reinforcing the relevance of professional practice for academic formation and preparation for the labor market.
