Summary
Guilherme Santos is a senior software engineer and engineering leader with nearly two decades in tech and a decade of hands-on experience building scalable Ruby on Rails platforms, cloud-native infrastructure, and AI-driven products. He’s taken systems from zero to millions of users—growing an HR platform to a 5M candidate database and 10M monthly accesses, and later scaling commerce-focused AI agents for conversational shopping on WhatsApp. Comfortable toggling between C-level strategy and sandbox coding, he has led teams, cut operational costs through cloud migrations and open-source tooling, and improved business KPIs like payment error rates and ARR. Technically fluent in Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure, PostgreSQL, vector search, Elasticsearch and Redis, he pairs pragmatic DevOps with product-minded engineering. Based in Germany with Brazilian roots, he combines startup grit and consultancy breadth, often surfacing value by aligning technical roadmaps tightly with business outcomes.
