Summary
Rodolfo Liviero is a Staff Software Engineer based in São Paulo with 16 years of production experience and a 20+ year background in the Ruby on Rails ecosystem focused on rescuing legacy systems and scaling high-growth products. He combines hands-on engineering with leadership experience as a former Head of Engineering and Tech Lead, having driven migrations, performance tuning, and DevOps improvements across PostgreSQL, Docker, and Rails upgrades. His career includes rebuilding long-lived Java and .NET codebases, migrating databases without downtime, and shipping high-availability email and payment systems.

Now at Housecall Pro, he brings an engineer-manager mindset that mentors senior engineers while still rolling up his sleeves to refactor and scale core systems. Colleagues would note his pragmatic blend of legacy modernization expertise and healthy focus on developer practices like pair programming and TDD.
