Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGabriel Francisco is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of JVM-focused experience, currently shaping platform engineering at Stone and pursuing an MSc in AI at USP. He combines deep expertise in Scala, Java and Kotlin with pragmatic choices between OOP and FP to design resilient, event-driven microservices and reactive systems. Gabriel has led large migrations to asynchronous architectures across fintech and e‑commerce—building Kafka-, SNS/SQS- and Debezium-driven platforms—and has contributed to the high-profile Akka Alpakka project, improving AWS SNS/SQS integrations. A hands-on technical leader and mentor, he pairs coding with strategic product thinking, from server-driven UIs to PCI-safe payment systems. He’s equally comfortable in Kubernetes, Terraform and observability tooling, and often favors the simplest paradigm that fits the problem rather than following fads.
