Summary
Rafael Medeiros is a hands-on software architect with over 20 years navigating generations of Java-based systems and 11 years in senior roles delivering enterprise solutions from Brasília. He specializes in modern cloud-native architectures using Java 21, Spring Boot, Apache Kafka and Kubernetes/OpenShift, while retaining deep expertise in legacy stacks like JSF, Struts, Hibernate and JBoss—making him adept at both modernization and maintenance. At CAST Group he designs resilient API and microservice platforms, applying patterns like bulkhead, retry and circuit breaker and practicing chaos engineering to harden availability. He combines strong operational experience (Linux, deployment pipelines, environment configuration and monitoring) with pragmatic design for fault tolerance and observability. Rafael’s background in telecom integrations, large financial systems and data modeling gives him a practical lens on performance and security trade-offs in critical systems. Colleagues rely on him to bridge legacy complexity and cloud-native transformation while keeping services highly available under real-world failure scenarios.
