Tiago Dolphine is a Senior Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building high-performance, cloud-native distributed systems from São Paulo. He blends deep backend expertise in reactive non-blocking architectures (Quarkus, Project Reactor) with hands-on work across DevOps, persistence (Infinispan, PostgreSQL), eventing (Kafka) and Kubernetes/OpenShift. At Red Hat he led Kogito runtimes and examples, contributing core job-service and persistence features and improving test coverage across well-known Apache projects, and now drives cloud platform work at Zup Innovation. He has a strong history of migrating monoliths to microservices, optimizing real-time order flows at scale, and improving reliability through testing and integration work. Comfortable across the stack, Tiago pairs pragmatic engineering with open-source craftsmanship—often fixing brittle native builds and adding robust integration tests that prevent production surprises.
