Top SchoolBruno Zica is a seasoned Development Team Lead and Senior Backend Software Engineer with over 20 years of experience building scalable microservices and backend systems across Java, Go, TypeScript, Python and cloud-native AWS environments. He has repeatedly driven performance and reliability improvements—e.g., cutting page load times from 7s to under 1s at a major publisher, creating automated performance tests for payment processing, and migrating monoliths into resilient microservice architectures. Bruno combines hands-on delivery (Spring Boot, FastAPI, NestJS, Lambda, DynamoDB) with mentoring and architecture leadership at companies like Marqeta, Perch Insights, WPP/VML and Editora Globo. He also brings practical DevOps fluency—Docker, CI/CD automation and production troubleshooting—and a knack for internal tooling that streamlines business workflows. Based in Rio de Janeiro and holding EU citizenship, he is fluent in Portuguese and English and comfortable leading international, cross-functional teams. An underrated strength is his background in operations and support, which gives him a pragmatic edge when designing systems that must run reliably at scale.
