Andre Metzen is a Principal Engineer based in Vitória, Brazil, with roughly 15 years of hands-on experience building full-stack, serverless, and DevOps-driven systems across startups and media companies. He has repeatedly transformed delivery pipelines and developer workflows—most recently driving a 4x faster QA-to-deploy lifecycle and introducing end-to-end testing and visual regression at Golden. As a founder and former CTO he designed scalable architectures including real-time WebRTC conferencing, distributed crawlers and SMTP infrastructure, and AWS CDK-based IaC for rapid iteration. Currently contributing principal-level engineering to music-focused AI platforms, he blends product sensibility with deep technical ownership from UI to cloud. Known for pragmatic automation and performance tuning, he often surfaces non-obvious gains by rethinking testing, deployment, and data models to speed teams rather than just optimize code.
