Summary
Jordao Serafim is a Tech Lead Backend Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable serverless and API-driven systems across entertainment, public sector, and research domains. He combines deep backend expertise in Node.js, Java, MongoDB and AWS with hands-on experience in front-end (Angular/TypeScript) and mobile (Android/Kotlin) development, routinely owning end-to-end delivery from infrastructure to client apps. His career began in research on spatio-temporal recommendation and environmental monitoring, which gave him a strong foundation in data-driven solutions and real-world impact. As a consultant he has designed high-throughput services and money-transaction APIs, and now leads backend development at NGX while mentoring teams. He holds a Computer Science degree from Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, studied at UC Davis, and is completing an MBA in Solutions & Software Architecture, reflecting a blend of practical engineering and system-level design. Colleagues describe him as driven by curiosity and hard problems—he still gets energized by the same crashing "hello world" that sparked his career.
