Lucas Pinheiro is a pragmatic software engineer with 8 years of experience building backend systems in Brazil, currently focusing on cloud-native architectures at Mercado Livre. He has strong hands-on experience with Go, Node.js/TypeScript, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes and AWS, and a track record of migrating monolithic EC2 setups to Kubernetes and designing resilient catalog and payments backends. Lucas has worked across financial services and e-commerce, implementing distributed systems, event-driven pipelines and observability with OpenTelemetry, Datadog, Prometheus and Grafana. He pairs deep interest in programming languages, software design and Linux with practical CI/CD, Terraform and data-pipeline experience (Airflow/Spark), making him comfortable from low-level ops to API design. A detail that sets him apart is his mix of fintech payment flows (Pix, TED, boletos) and catalog-scale reliability work, bridging strict transactional guarantees with high-availability product services.
