Top SchoolMarcelo França is a Principal Solutions Architect based in Rio de Janeiro with a rare blend of 30+ years coding roots and nine years of focused enterprise and cloud architecture leadership. He has pioneered the Solutions Architecture practice for Meta in Brazil, advising C-level clients across LATAM on large-scale advertising integrations and privacy-enhanced measurement at Facebook scale.
