Summary
Paulo Curado is a generalist senior engineer and integration specialist with over a decade of experience building scalable systems across fintech, healthcare, gaming, entertainment, transportation, and government sectors. He blends hands-on full-stack development (Elixir, Node.js, Python, Java, React/Vue) with cloud-native infrastructure and DevOps practices (Kubernetes, AWS, Terraform, ArgoCD) to deliver resilient, high-performance platforms. As an engineering manager he led multi-protocol payment systems that handle fiat and crypto, and today splits time between senior integration work and co-founding a startup focused on innovative solutions. Passionate about developer experience and automation, he’s increasingly applying AI to practical production problems while maintaining a strong systems-thinking background rooted in control and automation engineering. A detail that sets him apart: early work programming microcontrollers and PID controllers informs his pragmatic approach to reliability and observability in distributed systems.
