Senior🎓
Top SchoolJoão Schmitt is a Senior Software Development Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, cloud-native systems and developer tooling across AWS, Kubernetes, and Java ecosystems. He has driven measurable impact—from replacing thousands of manual hours at WEG to boosting order fulfillment throughput and resilience at Waitrose by over 90%—and recently architected scalable microservices serving millions of daily requests for BMW and sub-second OpenSearch experiences at PageFreezer. Comfortable leading technical teams, mentoring engineers, and owning the full lifecycle (CI/CD, observability, auth), he combines strong academic grounding in AI and distributed systems with pragmatic engineering. Early tinkering on an AMD 386 still fuels his curiosity, and he enjoys turning research-grade concepts into production-grade, cost-effective solutions.
