Summary
Matheus Bastos is a tech lead and senior software engineer with 11 years of experience building high-scale, event-driven backend platforms—particularly payment systems and marketplace payment flows. He currently leads a five-person squad at FCx Labs (Ferreira Costa), operating a PaymentHub that handles 10k+ transactions/day and $1M+ in daily volume with strong emphasis on low latency, observability, and operational readiness. His background includes modernizing legacy routing/gateway systems into autoscaled Node.js/.NET microservices, cutting infrastructure costs by over 50% and delivering ultra-small service footprints. Matheus blends hands-on engineering with pragmatic leadership, mentoring developers and enforcing architecture standards like CQRS and hexagonal design across cloud-native stacks (AWS, Kubernetes, DynamoDB, Redis). Recently he’s been applying LLM agents, tooling and prompt engineering to accelerate delivery while maintaining testing and production safety—an uncommon mix of payments expertise and emerging AI-driven developer tooling. Based in Pernambuco, Brazil, he brings a proven track record of shipping reliable, secure systems that scale in production.
