Summary
Wesley Cintra is a seasoned tech manager with 13 years in software, currently leading performance, scalability and reliability initiatives at Shopee while also co-running an edtech startup that gamifies legal exam preparation. He has a proven record building and scaling integration platforms and checkout systems at major Latin American e-commerce players like Mercado Livre, Nuvemshop and Magazine Luiza, often bridging product and engineering to deliver measurable business outcomes.
