Summary
Henrique Okuti is a senior backend engineer in São Paulo who combines a physics-trained, measurement-first mindset with four years of hands-on experience building high-throughput ad delivery and payment systems. He designs and operates latency-sensitive services on AWS ECS/Fargate, scales MongoDB Atlas for production workloads, and implements microservices in Go and TypeScript with a focus on data integrity and cost efficiency. At Context2 he led database optimizations that cut MongoDB costs ~40%, built non-blocking bot detection and batched-write pipelines, and served as the technical liaison across product and ops. His background in nonlinear optics and experimental research gives him a habit of model-first debugging and an unusual comfort with low-level system tradeoffs. He’s most effective on problems that span backend architecture, database operations, and infrastructure where end-to-end understanding matters more than any single technology.
