Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuís Braga is a software engineer with 8 years of experience, currently building resilient payment and subscription systems at OLX Group from his base in Braga, Portugal. He holds an integrated master's in Computer Engineering from Universidade do Minho and moved quickly from trainee to lead contributor by driving domain decoupling initiatives and compliance-related changes in finance-sensitive systems. Comfortable across cloud-native tooling (Terraform, AWS, AKS), Go, PHP and microservices, he delivered both back-end and front-end proofs of concept to peel functionality out of a legacy monolith. Luís combines an agile, product-minded approach with on-call operational experience and a track record of cost-optimization from his MSc work migrating AI services to Kubernetes. Notably, he placed 2nd in OLX’s Motors Hackathon 2025, reflecting a knack for rapid, high-impact delivery in cross-functional teams.
