Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Ferreira is a seasoned Python developer and computer engineer with over two decades of software experience and a decade focused on large-scale web scraping, AI-ready data infrastructure, and backend systems. He designs and runs high-performance ETL/ELT and RAG pipelines for startups and enterprises across the US, UK, and EU, often serving as the sole engineer accountable for uptime, data quality, and incident response. Alexandre is highly experienced in anti-bot and WAF evasion, browser automation, proxy/fingerprint management, and TLS debugging—skills he applied as an antiban engineer and that led to accepted contributions to the Scrapy project. He blends hands-on implementation (Python, Node.js, Go, TypeScript) with system-level architecture patterns like event-driven, microservices, and CQRS, and builds observability and cloud-native stacks with OpenTelemetry, DataDog, Prometheus and Kubernetes. As the founder of a consultancy, he accelerates time-to-production for AI teams by delivering MCP servers, LangChain/LlamaIndex integrations, and production-grade ingestion pipelines. Based in Bahia, Brazil, he pairs research-minded problem solving from his mechatronics master's work with practical, production-hardened engineering.
