Senior🎓
Top SchoolCarlos Atkinson is a Senior Back-end Engineer with a decade of experience building web and server-side systems, currently contributing at Toptal from São Paulo.

Carlos has a deep background in test automation and developer experience, having automated UI and mobile tests with tools like Selenium, Cucumber and Calabash and created custom CLIs to streamline workflows. His earlier roles blended system administration and hands-on automation, giving him uncommon fluency across infrastructure, observability and application layers.
