Summary
Guilherme Lyra is a senior software engineer based in São Paulo with over 15 years of cross-industry experience building backend systems, cloud-native platforms and DevOps automation for finance, insurance, real estate and gaming. He has led migrations from monoliths to microservices, implemented CI/CD at scale across hundreds of APIs, and architected Kubernetes-based solutions that cut costs and improved stability. In senior and tech-lead roles he combines hands-on coding (Golang, C#, PostgreSQL/MongoDB) with mentoring, code review and stakeholder-driven design to accelerate teams and product delivery. Currently at Mercado Libre after shaping platform capabilities at Wildlife Studios, he excels at designing scalable distributed services and pragmatic operational practices. An interesting thread across his career is the blend of enterprise-grade financial systems early on with rapid, developer-empowering platforms in gaming—giving him a rare perspective on both strict reliability and fast-paced product iteration.
