Summary
Lucas Fernandes is a software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, reliable backend systems for global products, currently at QuintoAndar. He has driven multiregion, event-driven services at scale—reducing costs by 70% at Uber—using Go, Python, Java, Kafka and large-scale storage like Spanner and Petabyte datasets. His master's research applied optimization and unsupervised AI to petroleum exploration, and he leverages AI pragmatically to upscale engineering workflows and insights. Comfortable with both low-latency transactional systems and offline analytics, he pairs database and systems expertise (SQL Server, stored procedures) with distributed systems design. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he blends academic rigor with production-first engineering and a track record of cross-team leadership on complex, privacy-sensitive platforms.
