Top SchoolDiego Santos is a Senior Software Engineer based in Bahia, Brazil, with nine years of hands-on experience building and leading backend and cloud-native systems.

As a technical lead he’s managed teams up to eight engineers, owned on-call incident resolution, and implemented production optimizations like rate limiting, queues, caching, and parallel processing.
