Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolVinicius Souza is a Staff Software Engineer with 12 years of experience building high-scale systems across ecommerce, OTT streaming, CDNs, ETL, and API platforms. He has led critical projects at Globo—helping deliver live 4K events and evolve GloboCDN with Nginx+Lua optimizations—and now drives engineering at iFood. Comfortable translating complex technical requirements for both technical and non-technical stakeholders, he blends hands-on backend work (Golang, Cassandra, Redis, Elixir) with team-building and roadmap planning. An active open-source contributor, he maintains a respected Go Gin boilerplate that supports secure auth, health checks and test coverage for other developers. Based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, he pairs production-proven reliability with an experimental mindset—he’s a guitarist and ZCPE-certified Gopher who enjoys exploring cross-domain solutions. Quietly, he often surfaces non-obvious optimizations (e.g., cache and piracy tooling) that materially reduce cost and latency for large-scale delivery.
