He currently leads platform initiatives at Mercado Livre that enable developer teams to build low-latency, resource-efficient services, spearheading tools like continuous profiling and automated linters to raise uptime and developer experience. His background spans technical leadership roles where he combined event-driven architecture, graph databases and OpenTelemetry-driven metrics to make data-informed decisions at scale.
