Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolArthur Costa is a founder and software engineer with ~9 years building and operating cloud-native, event-driven backends and distributed systems for high-traffic, business-critical environments. He specializes in Kubernetes, managed cloud platforms, service meshes, IaC and streaming architectures, and has led large migrations from on-prem and mainframe monoliths to multi-region, microservices deployments. His work has delivered measurable impact—about 70% compute cost reduction in a major platform modernization and significant uptime and throughput improvements tied to strict SLOs and on-call ownership. Arthur combines hands-on coding in Go, Java, Python and TypeScript with architecting systems, defining observability, and mentoring teams to raise engineering standards. He runs a technical blog sharing production lessons on distributed systems, making complex trade-offs accessible to practicing engineers. Based in Porto, he brings pragmatic judgment for taking ambiguous problems from concept through technical decisions to production.
