Summary
Lucy Narita is a backend-focused software engineer with 10 years' experience building high-throughput, low-latency messaging systems for companies including Google and Sinch (formerly Wavy Global). She has deep Kotlin and Java expertise and a proven track record designing scalable, fault-tolerant platforms that process 100M+ messages per day using Kafka, RabbitMQ, Redis, PostgreSQL and Kubernetes. Comfortable touching frontend when needed, she prefers server-side challenges and enjoys optimizing availability and performance across carrier integrations and messaging ecosystems. A pragmatic problem-solver and former intern turned full-time Googler, she pairs production experience with curiosity — she even takes LinkedIn skill assessments for fun, collecting badges for technologies she hasn’t necessarily used professionally. Based in Brazil, Lucy brings a steady, hands-on approach to distributed systems and messaging infrastructure.
