This research aims to analyze the implementation of Clean Code principles in a software development company. The object of study is the fictitious medium-sized company TechSolutions, which was monitored during the adoption of these practices. The research question is: What are the impacts, challenges, and benefits of implementing Clean Code principles in a medium-sized software development company? The guiding hypothesis is that adopting Clean Code contributes positively to code organization, improves the readability and maintainability of routines, and promotes better alignment among developers. The methodology used was a case study with a qualitative-quantitative approach, combining direct observation, questionnaires applied to team members, document analysis, and a literature review using sources such as SciELO and Google Scholar.
