Summary
Yuri Silva is a senior software engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building backend and full-stack systems across fintech and consulting contexts. Currently at FELS Finance, he combines Ruby on Rails and modern AI-assisted development workflows (Claude sub-agents, SpecKit, Cursor) to streamline tax and investment tools for German clients. His background includes event-driven architectures on AWS with Kotlin and TypeScript at Navalia and end-to-end product work integrating payments and CRMs like Stripe and HubSpot at RIDE Capital. He cut his teeth modernizing legacy systems at Thoughtworks and implementing disciplined XP practices—TDD, pair programming and trunk-based development—across multiple stacks (.NET, Java, React). A UFRPE computer science graduate who studied abroad at NC State, he also holds post-graduate training in cloud architecture, reflecting a continuous focus on reliable, scalable cloud-native systems. Notably, he blends pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for developer tooling and AI-assisted coding to accelerate delivery without sacrificing quality.
