Summary
Pio Tofanelli is a Senior Software Engineer based in São Paulo with over a decade of hands-on experience building backend systems, mobile apps, and device integrations across industries from Point-of-Sale to electronic payments. He blends deep backend expertise in AWS, Kotlin, Java and Python with a practical history of developing drivers and PoS integrations in C/C++ and Delphi, enabling him to bridge hardware-software boundaries. At Amazon he led backend microservices, on-call operations and security certification efforts, and now brings that scale experience to DoorDash. He has led cross-functional, multi-timezone teams through large refactors—most notably migrating an Android app from Java/MVP to Kotlin/MVVM while introducing automated UI testing. Pio pairs a formal background in software architecture and mobile development with field experience (including on-site work at farms and retail integrations), which surfaces pragmatic product insights early in projects. Colleagues describe him as a technical leader who removes blockers, improves operational excellence, and drives measurable quality improvements.
