Summary
Carlos Vaz is a Staff Software Engineer and founding team technologist with 20+ years building mission-critical platforms across health, legal, government and media. He combines hands-on frontend and platform expertise—Next.js 15/React 19, design systems and micro-frontends—with backend and ML pipelines (PyTorch, Whisper, FastAPI, NestJS) to deliver low-latency, observable systems at scale. Carlos has repeatedly modernized stacks and introduced event-driven architectures, semantic pipelines and CI/CD practices that cut operational costs and accelerated roadmaps (e.g., 6× faster tests, 5× faster ops). He excels at elevating engineering maturity across squads, leading architectural decisions and embedding telemetry (OTel/Grafana) to enable fast regression detection and reliability. Based in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, he uniquely bridges JVM-distributed systems experience with cutting-edge GenAI/ASR productionization, focusing on measurable product impact.
