Top SchoolLuciano Castilhos is a Senior Staff Software Engineer based in Rio de Janeiro with 14 years of experience building high-performance, scalable web and cloud systems across fintech, media, and AI-driven learning platforms.

Equally comfortable coding in Python, Elixir, C# and TypeScript, he prefers solving hard reliability and scalability problems while mentoring engineering teams and shaping product-aligned architecture. An early CTO and co-founder, he combines entrepreneurial product instincts with deep operational experience in observability and event-driven systems.
