João Couto is a senior software engineer with nine years of experience building scalable, high-performance backend systems across Go, Java and Python. He specializes in microservices, containers, concurrency and clean architecture, routinely leading refactors and migrations of legacy services into modern, maintainable platforms. At Mercafacil he built internal libraries, a high-performance multi-tenant Mongo cache, Kafka wrappers and a reverse proxy that supports critical traffic routing and access control.
