Summary
Rafael Lopes is a Calypso-focused DevOps consultant and software engineer with two decades of technical experience and eight years in senior delivery and leadership roles across LATAM and Europe. He combines deep Java backend and Calypso expertise with front-end Angular WebView knowledge, having led complex Calypso upgrades, SIMM and collateral management implementations, and global production support for major banks. Rafael has progressed from hands-on Java development and system integration to regional engineering leadership and delivery management, often acting as architect, business analyst and release engineer on the same engagements. Based in São Paulo and currently supporting a Dutch bank’s Calypso v18 upgrade, he brings a pragmatic blend of technical troubleshooting, automated deployment practices and client-facing communication. A less obvious strength is his track record of improving observability and deployment automation in legacy financial systems, enabling smoother production operations and faster incident resolution.
