Summary
Natércio Moniz is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building resilient, low-latency systems for finance and cryptocurrency markets. Based in Póvoa de Varzim, Portugal, he has moved from Java and Python into a Go-focused practice over the last five years, shipping critical components like matching engines, authentication APIs, and settlement automation for exchanges. He has a track record of improving developer velocity and deployability—introducing RFC-style design docs, domain-driven refactors, and build-time DI that reduced lambda sizes by ~40%. Natércio pairs hands-on engineering (CLI tools, Testnet/Mainnet automation) with product-minded coordination across DevOps and trading teams, and has repeatedly led launches of new markets and features. His background in both on-prem and cloud (GCP, AWS Lambda/DynamoDB) gives him a pragmatic view on operational trade-offs in financial systems.
