Summary
Itamar Rocha is a seasoned systems analyst and software engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience and 11 years in senior roles modernizing financial systems with cloud-native Java and AWS architectures. He blends deep mastery of OO and functional paradigms with practical expertise in microservices, Docker, Kafka, serverless Python, and observability tools to deliver resilient, test-driven APIs and event-driven systems. A long-time advocate of simplicity and Agile practices, he applies SOLID, hexagonal architecture and saga patterns to tame legacy modernization and high-throughput transaction environments. Equally at home on the front end with Vue/React and on databases from DB2 to DynamoDB, he continuously experiments—migrating volunteer systems to Quarkus and container platforms to improve performance and reduce costs. His career arc, which began in 1994 witnessing the birth of Java, JavaScript and C#, reveals a pragmatic mindset that chooses the right technology for the problem rather than following trends.
