Vitor Santos is a Senior Software Engineer based in Rio de Janeiro with 10 years building backend systems across both high-scale e-commerce platforms and fast-moving startups. He specializes in Node.js and Python services on AWS, with a strong focus on performance, DevOps, and distributed microservices architecture. Vitor has moved between hands-on engineering and leadership roles—serving as CTO and lead programmer during rapid product expansions and M&A-style integrations—so he blends executional rigor with product-minded system design. He thrives on solving complex, infrastructure-level problems and has proven experience adapting legacy systems and integrating acquired platforms into new ecosystems. Comfortable in both startup ambiguity and enterprise-grade reliability, he brings pragmatic trade-offs and a curiosity for performance engineering and scientific approaches to systems.
