Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolEduardo Pinho is a Senior Elixir Engineer with 17 years of experience building scalable, fault-tolerant back-end systems from embedded devices to large cloud services. Currently at Supabase, he brings deep Elixir and Erlang expertise demonstrated by contributions to core projects like Elixir itself and popular libraries such as HTTPoison and Tentacat. He has led teams and platform-level work—fixing performance bottlenecks, standardising inter-service communication, and designing event-driven, Kafka-based architectures—while also owning reliability through on-call rotations and observability initiatives. His background spans security-conscious embedded systems (WireGuard remote tunnels and secure updates) to high-throughput SaaS platforms handling hundreds of millions of devices. An experienced QA-minded engineer, he’s strengthened testing and integration suites for projects like hackney, showing a practical focus on robustness beyond feature work. Based in Rolleston, New Zealand, he pairs academic training (MSc in Computer Science) with a long track record of open-source impact and production engineering.
