Senior🎓
Top SchoolNelson Correia is a Senior Server Engineer with over 15 years of backend experience and more than a decade focused on games, currently shaping server architecture at Supercell. He combines hands-on engineering in Scala, Java and .NET with proven leadership—having formed and led cross-functional shared tech teams that reduced repo sprawl, automated releases, and recovered lost revenue. Nelson has scaled multiplayer systems to hundreds of thousands of concurrent users, built analytics and event pipelines at billion-event scale, and delivered revenue-driving integrations for live games. A pragmatic mentor who runs team rituals and champions maintainability, he blends deep systems thinking with a gamer’s intuition for engagement and reliability. Notably, he’s often solved operational pain points (backward compatibility and release automation) that quietly rescued revenue and developer productivity.
