José Carvalho is a Staff Software Engineer from Rio Grande do Sul with over a decade of experience designing cloud-native, high-availability backend systems and microservices—particularly in payments and core banking (including Pix) where nanosecond-level precision and reliability matter. He is proficient in Go, Node.js, Java, PHP and Python and has deep experience with relational and NoSQL databases, AWS, Docker and DevOps practices, repeatedly reducing infrastructure costs and improving observability in production. José has a strong track record leading engineering standards, incident responses and technical decisions across multidisciplinary teams, having introduced decision logs, APM and refactored high-throughput services to massive cost and performance gains. Rooted in hands-on tinkering since childhood, he combines practical systems-first thinking with formal study in software engineering and tech leadership, and maintains personal projects dating back to early game server emulators that reflect enduring curiosity and ownership.
