Rafael Freitas is a Senior Software Engineer based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with around nine years of experience building resilient distributed systems and payment platforms. He has driven end-to-end initiatives—from architecting a distributed remuneration orchestrator and a payments gateway that cut processing time by ~60% at PagBank to leading backend architecture and real-time logistics features in Elixir at Flowls. Comfortable across JVM and functional stacks, his toolkit spans Java/Kotlin, Elixir/Phoenix, Kafka, Spark, AWS and observability practices, and he often pairs engineering improvements (tests, Git workflows) with product-focused delivery. Rafael’s background in DB administration and NLP-infused projects gives him a pragmatic edge for data-intensive, high-throughput systems and integrations.
