Top SchoolMatheus Portela is a Senior Software Engineer with 13 years of experience building reliable, auditable systems for startups and scale-ups across HRTech, FinTech, and developer tools.

A polyglot and multicultural collaborator based in New York, he thrives at the intersection of product, engineering, and operations, having led teams, interviewed extensively, and driven cross-functional adoption of durable execution frameworks. His background spans ML research and scalable analytics services, from building APIs and crawlers to managing 60+ node infrastructure, reflecting both research rigor (MS in CS from NYU) and production grit. Matheus intentionally chooses employers committed to ethical, diverse, and safe workplaces, and he’s known for turning complex domain requirements into maintainable, instrumented systems.
