Summary
Luiz Teston is a Senior Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building and stabilizing high-throughput, low-latency systems across trading, payments, and platform infrastructure. Currently at Flow Traders after a senior platform role at Adyen, he combines deep JVM and profiling expertise with hands-on performance tuning (Flight Recorder, AsyncProfiler) and proven incident-led improvements that turned firefighting into preventive code and metrics. He has led teams and mentored engineers while owning critical global post-trade and middleware systems using netty, Kafka, gRPC, Chronicle Queue and Kubernetes. Past roles as founder/consultant and SRE lead reflect a pragmatic focus on automation, CI/CD, and reducing technical debt through architecture simplification. Based in the Netherlands and studying Robotics part-time, he brings a physics-trained analytical mindset and an appetite for low-level optimization—evident in his habit of chasing contention and squeezing throughput out of production systems. A direct, results-oriented engineer, he pairs operational rigor with a knack for teaching teams to run and evolve resilient platforms.
