Senior🎓
Top SchoolCaires Santos is a senior software engineer based in Berlin with 18 years building high-performance, production-grade systems across frontend and backend stacks. He specializes in correctness, simplicity and performance, with deep hands-on experience in Golang, Python, Java and event-driven architectures (Kafka, gRPC) for high-throughput services. His background spans fintech at Nubank, adtech and caching challenges at Onefootball, and platform and search work at Viva Real, where he introduced gRPC/Kafka pipelines and sitemap generation at scale.

He also contributes to open-source tools for Brazilian developers, notably integrations for JSF/Facelets document validators, showing attention to developer ergonomics beyond core services. Known for pragmatic architecture decisions, he balances low-level performance tuning with clean, maintainable solutions.
