Thiago Farias is a Senior Software Engineering Manager with 10+ years blending academic R&D and industry leadership to build fault-tolerant, highly available cloud systems and data platforms. He holds a PhD in 3D reconstruction and transitioned university research—solving real partner problems at CHESF and Petrobras—into production-grade distributed services and GPU-accelerated solutions. As a hands-on leader he has scaled engineering teams and hiring pipelines across LATAM, mentored dozens of interns into full-time engineers, and designed data meshes and microservice architectures for financial and BI systems. He pairs deep technical expertise in computer vision, parallel computing and backend engineering with neuropsychology-informed approaches to teaching and people development. Not obviously, his career began implementing VR/AR and accessibility platforms on constrained hardware, a background that informs his pragmatic, performance-first approach to systems design.
