Aníbal Ferreira is a senior software engineer based in São Paulo with over 15 years building high-performance, scalable systems and a decade of recent experience focused on cloud-native, event-driven architectures. He brings hands-on expertise in Golang and Rust, complemented by Python, Java, and serverless/AWS platforms, with a track record at companies like Varsity Tutors and Rain. As a former CTO and tech lead, he blends pragmatic engineering, clean code, and team leadership to deliver solutions that drive business value. Aníbal couples an AI-first mindset with postgraduate studies in Artificial Intelligence, applying ML-aware design to backend systems rather than treating AI as an afterthought. He is comfortable moving between legacy stacks (Delphi, Oracle) and modern distributed systems, which gives him an edge in migrating and modernizing complex codebases. Known for pragmatic problem-solving, he prioritizes maintainability and measurable impact when shipping at scale.
