Summary
Xiao Kong is a Senior Software Engineering Manager based in Rio de Janeiro with a decade of hands-on experience across full-stack development, architecture, DevOps, and information security. He has led and modernized complex systems—ranging from electronic invoicing platforms with hexagonal architecture and PySpark ETL pipelines to legacy government solutions—delivering scalable, test-covered code in Next.js, React, Node.js, Python/Django, and AWS. Comfortable making high-stakes technical and people decisions, he combines team leadership with deep operational know-how, including Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and AWS deployments. Xiao’s background in incident response and training at UFRJ gives him a pragmatic security mindset that informs both design and delivery. He seeks 100% remote roles where he can blend development and Infosec responsibilities and often surfaces overlooked operational risks early in projects. A hands-on manager who still writes production code, he’s known for turning legacy constraints into modern, maintainable systems.
