Summary
Thales Correa is a Head of Engineering with 11 years in tech who blends hands-on backend development in Node.js, TypeScript and Go with strategic leadership of cross-functional teams building web, mobile and payment systems. He has led mission-critical projects including a city-wide transit card recharge app, PCI-compliant payment gateway APIs, and a digital wallet with P2P transfers and ATM cash flows, while managing diverse squads delivering checkout and BNPL solutions. A strong advocate for DevOps and automation, he drives CI/CD adoption with GitLab CI, infrastructure as code using Terraform, and deployments on AWS and Azure. Comfortable across the full product lifecycle and Agile frameworks (Scrum, Kanban, SAFe), he focuses on upskilling teams in both technical craft and soft skills to sustain high performance. An engineer-turned-manager, he still contributes technical direction and architecture, ensuring pragmatic, secure solutions rather than abstract designs.
