Summary
Gabriel Mesquita is a Senior Software Engineer based in São Paulo with a decade of experience building and scaling production systems across startups and fintechs. He’s fluent in a wide polyglot stack—Java, JavaScript (React/Ember), Ruby, Clojure, Golang and Elixir—and has delivered high-throughput microservices, observability, and CI/CD for products handling millions of transactions. Gabriel has repeatedly led refactors of legacy code, driven engineering practices and mentored teams, most recently shaping Elixir-based, AI-enabled features at Podium and joining Lyra Health to continue at senior scope. His passion for functional programming informs pragmatic choices that improve reliability and maintainability, and he pairs that with hands-on frontend work (including Flutter and React Native) for end-to-end impact. An early intern-turned-senior, he combines institutional experience from Nubank and Creditas with startup agility, making him adept at both shipping fast and hardening systems for scale.
