Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Pereira is a Senior Software Developer with 15 years of experience, currently building high-throughput payments systems at Booking.com that process millions of transactions daily. He brings deep embedded-systems roots—C/C++, device drivers, board bring-up and hardware debugging—from long stints at firms like LG and Daruma, and applies that low-level rigor to large-scale web and backend problems. Alexandre has implemented networking protocols to RFCs, worked across Linux and Windows stacks, and contributed to OpenOCD by adding NAND flash support and improving STLINK alignment, underscoring his hardware-focused open-source impact. Comfortable across the full stack—from firmware and drivers to Django-based web apps, SQL databases and Android—he blends protocol-level precision with pragmatic product delivery. Based in Amsterdam and trained in Telecommunications Engineering at Universidade de São Paulo, he’s known for turning thorny hardware-software interactions into reliable production systems.
