Summary
Rogério Pontes is an engineering manager and security engineer with 11 years of experience, recently leading the Security Team at AutoScout24 to design cloud-scale security products and resilient disaster recovery systems. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science focused on cryptographic database systems and published multiple peer-reviewed papers, bringing research-grade rigor to practical security engineering. Rogério blends deep theoretical strengths—formal methods, algorithms, complexity—with hands-on skills in Java, C, Haskell, Python, PostgreSQL and cloud tooling (AWS, Docker, Ansible) to close the gap between novel research and production safety. He has driven cross-company initiatives including M&A integrations, incident response tooling, and email phishing defenses, while helping build team culture and mentoring new engineers. Comfortable moving between benchmarking, profiling and large-scale infrastructure, he’s known for anticipating threats by applying state-of-the-art cryptographic and privacy techniques in real-world systems.
