Summary

He has a strong track record leading teams and projects end-to-end—designing architectures (C4), executing complex refactors, and reducing critical test suites from 30 to 4 minutes to accelerate delivery. His background spans multi-tenant platforms handling tens of thousands of notifications per minute, payment integrations with major Brazilian banks, and migrating and modernizing legacy systems for reliability and observability. Comfortable across backend, cloud and ops concerns, he’s studying event-driven microservices, Kubernetes, Kafka/RabbitMQ and Swoole to evolve systems toward real-time, resilient architectures. Founder experience running client projects gives him a product-minded approach to tradeoffs, cost estimation and stakeholder communication. Based in Espírito Santo, Brazil, he pairs pragmatic engineering discipline (TDD, DDD, Clean Architecture) with a hands-on flair for performance tuning and operational stability.
