Summary
Luiz Damim is a senior software engineer based in Brazil with over two decades of hands-on experience and 12 years in senior/lead engineering roles building high-availability payment and identity systems. He has led cross-functional teams and owned critical platforms at companies like will bank, SumUp, Stone, and Mollie, driving reliability, observability, and migrations from monoliths to microservices. Notable achievements include architecting SSO and identity consolidation for OpenBank APIs, building firmware-management backends serving hundreds of thousands of devices, and delivering a BPMN-like workflow engine that helped his former company achieve ISO 9001 certification. Luiz blends deep backend expertise (Elixir, PostgreSQL, distributed systems) with product-minded architecture and strong operational discipline—implementing OpenTelemetry and company-wide engineering best practices. He is comfortable across the stack—from mobile and frontend to DevOps—and repeatedly turns complex regulatory and country-specific business rules into maintainable, auditable systems. Quietly pragmatic, he often surfaces process and observability improvements that substantially reduce operational risk and processing time.
