Athos Couto is an experienced software engineer with 11 years building cloud-native platforms, databases, and observability tooling from São Paulo. He has driven platform and API design at Turso—helping turn an open-source SQLite fork into a managed service—and now focuses on deploying AI agents at Enter. His background includes improving multi-tenant service meshes and performance monitoring at VTEX, and early security and sync tooling internships at Facebook, Microsoft and Google, giving him a strong operational and security-minded engineering culture. An active contributor to the libSQL project, he implemented Prometheus-backed metrics, UUID-tracked stats and performance-focused datatype refactors that improve debuggability at scale. He holds engineering training from Instituto Militar de Engenharia and a master’s in applied mathematics from FGV, a combination that influences his data-driven approach to system design and performance optimization.
libSQL is a fork of SQLite that is both Open Source, and Open Contributions.

Contributions summary:Athos primarily contributed to the development of the `libsql` database system by adding new metrics, specifically related to query performance and storage usage, for monitoring and debugging. They introduced and implemented features for collecting and reporting query latency, count, and memory usage, using Prometheus for monitoring. Furthermore, the user refactored the codebase to use `u64` for various performance-critical data types and added UUIDs to stats objects, allowing for more robust tracking and resetting of statistics data.
