Marcos Benevides is a pragmatic software engineer with a decade of experience building and modernizing backend systems, particularly using functional programming languages like F# and OCaml. He has driven migrations of legacy monorepos and cloud infra (AWS→Azure) while improving security and automation—implementing SCRAM for PostgreSQL and cutting infrastructure costs by ~80% at Datarisk. Comfortable as an individual contributor and technical lead, he has led cross-team integrations, mentored juniors, and created tooling to make debugging and local testing reproducible. Now at TradeKart, he continues to blend pragmatic maintenance of critical systems with functional-imperative designs that ease migrations. An inquisitive problem-solver based in Rondônia, Brazil, he describes himself playfully on GitHub as “a prototype of a much larger system,” hinting at a taste for clever, system-level thinking.
