Summary
Felipe Cunha is a Senior Software Engineer with nine years of experience building resilient backend systems for payments and digital banking, currently shaping data services for legal-entity customers at PicPay. He specializes in Kotlin/Java and Spring Boot, applying DDD and hexagonal architecture to high-throughput systems that leverage Kafka, MongoDB, MySQL, Redis and AWS (EKS, S3, SQS). His background at Dock gave him deep domain knowledge of payment authorization flows and ISO 8583, while earlier research work in embedded systems and UAV monitoring honed his low-level programming and performance debugging skills. Felipe is comfortable with containerized, observable production environments (Docker, Kubernetes, Grafana, Dynatrace) and practices TDD, CI/CD and IaC to keep services reliable. He frequently bridges business and technology, translating product needs into scalable designs and resolving production incidents under pressure. Based in Paraíba, Brazil, he combines strong computer science fundamentals with a pragmatic focus on operational excellence.
