Summary
Herik Lima is a Senior C++ engineer with 11–13 years building ultra-low-latency, mission-critical systems across finance, gaming, VPNs and agricultural IoT, specializing in real-time, high-performance C++ on x86/ARM and embedded Linux. He has driven measurable business impact—rewriting core packet handlers to sustain 3+ Gbps VPN throughput, cutting server costs by $100K/year through cross-platform migrations, and shaving market data latency from tens of milliseconds to single-digit microseconds for high-frequency trading. Comfortable across languages and platforms, he architects cross-language integrations (Objective‑C++, Swift, Java, Go, C#), leads teams, mentors juniors, and co-founded the global C++ MasterClass community to scale modern C++ knowledge. He holds a Master’s from USP and currently helps power Bayer’s FieldView MCSDK, combining deep low-level optimization skills with a pragmatic focus on reliability and test-driven development. An unstated strength is his track record of rescuing high-risk legacy systems—reverse-engineering and rebuilding critical ERPs that processed millions monthly—demonstrating both technical depth and operational ownership.
