Summary
Thiago Cavalcanti is a tech lead and solution architect based in Recife, Brazil, with 15 years of experience building backend-focused, cloud-native systems primarily in Java/Kotlin, Scala and modern microservices patterns.

He holds engineering credentials from UFPE and international study at the University of Guelph, and is known for balancing ~20% hands-on coding with broader team enablement and DevOps responsibilities.
