Summary
Rafael Barbosa is a senior Financial Services Solutions Architect at AWS in São Paulo with eight years of hands-on experience designing secure, cost-efficient cloud architectures for large banks and fintechs. He leads high-stakes programs where small technical choices affect regulatory compliance and operational risk, delivering outcomes like rapid BACEN/PIX audit homologation with CloudHSM, 30%+ EKS cost reductions via workload-tuned Karpenter, and multi-region resilience strategies. Comfortable operating across engineering, security, risk, audit, and business stakeholders, he pairs deep implementation skills (EKS, RDS, DynamoDB, SQS, IoT Core, SageMaker) with program leadership to unblock complex initiatives. Previously he drove migrations and payments cryptography modernization that cut card-processing costs by over 40%, and has enabled GenAI acceleration for docs and legacy-code workflows using Amazon Bedrock and Q. He also teaches MBA courses at FIAP and USP/Esalq—reaching thousands of students yearly—and translates real-world FSI constraints into practical decision frameworks. Outside of AWS he remains a developer and DevOps enthusiast, organizing community meetups (churrops.io) and focusing on production big-data architecture.
