Senior🎓
Top SchoolFelipe Cavalcanti is a seasoned developer-entrepreneur with 12 years of hands-on experience building back- and front-end products and leading startups from Brazil. He combines deep technical skills in APIs (Node.js, Java, Python), AWS-focused DevOps, and Android mobile development with a strong product and growth mindset. As CEO and co-founder of multiple ventures and director of IT at a rapidly scaled NGO, he has shipped payment integrations, automation, and growth systems that scaled communities from dozens to thousands. Felipe is pragmatic and data-driven, fluent in lean startup and agile practices, and comfortable moving between low-level transactional problems (ISO8583, EMV) and high-level product strategy. He often bridges gaps between engineering and business, tackling infrastructure, SDKs, and UX while driving measurable growth. Based in Rio de Janeiro, he blends entrepreneurial grit with production-grade engineering—rarely satisfied until systems both scale and deliver real user value.
