Eduardo Cuducos is a Senior Product Engineer with 12 years of experience building performant backend systems and automations across Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, Elm, and TypeScript. He blends hands-on engineering—optimizing memory- and CPU-bound data pipelines and refactoring for scalability—with product-minded design, having led backend redesigns to support 100–1000x user growth goals. A civic tech specialist and co-founder of Operação Serenata de Amor, Eduardo has applied data-driven tooling to public accountability and contributed notable scraping and XML-processing work to high-impact open projects like Querido Diário and Serenata de Amor. He’s shipped merchant- and ops-facing automation at Shopify and established backend reliability and code-quality culture at Rings AI, all while publishing open-source tooling from his GitHub. Based in Ottawa with a PhD in Sociology, he brings a rare mix of social-research insight and systems engineering, and off-duty he’s a triathlete-vegan who’s learning bachata—evidence of disciplined curiosity beyond code.
