Leonardo Farias is a Staff Software Engineer based in Pernambuco, Brazil, with over a decade of experience building scalable, security-conscious web and serverless systems. At Conta Simples he progressed from senior engineer to staff and tech lead roles, driving measurable business impact—reducing account opening time by half, cutting fraud and login support tickets by double digits, and boosting MFA success rates to over 92%. He specializes in Node.js/TypeScript, GraphQL, React and AWS serverless architectures (DynamoDB, Cognito, SQS/SNS), and has hands-on experience replacing managed auth flows with custom solutions to improve reliability and user success. Leonardo combines product-focused engineering with team leadership, repeatedly launching tracking and automation that turned slow manual processes into near-real-time flows. He has a track record of architecting complex features from scratch (e.g., an interactive E-Reader and authentication microservices) and mentoring small teams to deliver them. Pragmatic and metrics-driven, he often surfaces non-obvious wins by instrumenting flows and automating internal products to both reduce operational load and improve customer autonomy.
