Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLuis Nicolau is a Director of Technology and full‑stack AI engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, production-grade systems from fintech to legal tech. He has led teams of up to 15 engineers and scaled architectures to support 10x traffic increases while improving stability and Core Web Vitals, blending hands-on engineering with product and operational leadership. As a technical cofounder he designed a fintech platform that processed over R$5M in its first year and implemented AI-driven identity verification and generative support bots to reduce fraud and accelerate onboarding. He combines expertise in AWS (ECS, Lambda, RDS, SQS), Terraform, CI/CD and LLM-based tooling (OpenAI, LangChain, RAG) to deliver secure, cost‑efficient solutions in regulated domains (LGPD/GDPR). Based in Rio de Janeiro, he pairs entrepreneurial experience as a former company president with a proven track record of metrifying engineering processes to drive measurable business outcomes. A pragmatic leader who still ships code, he’s equally comfortable codifying infrastructure as mentoring teams to adopt data‑driven engineering practices.
