Summary
Adolfo Sousa is a seasoned technology executive and CTO with 17 years of experience designing and operating large-scale distributed systems, eCommerce search platforms, and machine learning pipelines. He has led engineering teams across fast-growth companies including Nubank, Gympass and B2W, combining hands-on architecture work (Kafka, Cassandra, Solr, Storm) with people leadership and manager development. Comfortable across infrastructure, DevOps, system administration and product-facing APIs, he has repeatedly solved peak-traffic and reliability challenges for high-traffic retail systems. He also bridges data and engineering by building feature extraction, categorization and matching solutions used in production ML workflows. Based in São Paulo, he’s equally fluent in operational realities and software methodology, with practical experience applying XP, Scrum and Visible Ops at scale. An unusual strength is his track record of turning complex domain models (orders, customers, items) into canonical repositories that simplify integrations across multi-brand platforms.
