Summary
Daniel Souza is a systems architect and software development technical leader with over a decade of experience building and guiding cloud-native, microservice-driven platforms across Brazil's fintech and e-commerce sectors. Currently at Mercado Livre and formerly designing critical systems at C6 Bank and Cartão ELO, he translates business needs into resilient architectures and oversees delivery from proof-of-concept to production operations. His hands-on background in Java, Kotlin, Python and Go, combined with deep experience in Kubernetes/OpenShift, serverless, Apigee, and observability stacks, lets him balance pragmatic engineering trade-offs with long-term technical health. He routinely defines CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code practices, measures quality and technical debt, and mentors teams to adopt modern cloud patterns. Notably, he pairs enterprise-grade relational and NoSQL expertise (Postgres, Oracle, MongoDB, Elasticsearch) with messaging and streaming pragmatism (Kafka, SQS) to solve high-throughput problems. Based in São Paulo, he brings both leader-level strategy and developer-level craft to complex distributed systems.
