WHERE I CONTRIBUTE

Backend engineering

Node.js and TypeScript services, REST APIs and third-party integrations in production, including financial flows on a platform with 7M+ active users.

Full Stack development

React and Next.js product work alongside backend services: shared UI systems, frontend architecture and the APIs those interfaces depend on.

Production & reliability

Incident investigation from logs and traces, production debugging, performance work and the operational details that keep services trustworthy.

Cloud & infrastructure

AWS and GCP production environments, including CloudWatch, Cloud Run, Docker, CI/CD, and the work that follows a cloud migration.

01 / SELECTED WORK

Selected Engineering Cases.

Production problems: what broke, how I investigated, and what changed.

03 CASE STUDIES
01

Production debugging · Fintech

Finding the real failure behind a misleading financial API error

On a financial platform with 7M+ active users, customers were blocked in onboarding by a provider error that did not match the original failure. I traced the request path and isolated the first error.

OUTCOME

Invalid due dates stopped reaching the provider, and affected accounts had a recovery path.

02

Performance · E-commerce

Investigating database timeouts under e-commerce traffic

After an AWS-to-GCP migration, a high-traffic e-commerce backend started timing out against the database under load. I tested pooling, caching, cold starts and autoscaling before proposing changes.

OUTCOME

Pooling, caching and autoscaling changes followed the investigation, and the system handled traffic more reliably afterwards.

  • Cloud Run
  • Databases
  • Caching
  • Load testing
  • Observability

Frontend architecture · Healthcare

Standing up a shared React system for a US healthcare team

A US healthcare product needed a shared React foundation and a delivery path. In a short advisory engagement, I built the component system, micro-frontend integration and baseline AWS/ArgoCD workflow.

OUTCOME

The shared frontend system and baseline infrastructure were in place. The client later discontinued the project after funding and team changes.

04 / ABOUT

Based in Brazil.
Working in English.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer based in Brazil, with 6+ years of production experience across fintech, e-commerce, SaaS and logistics. I work in English (C1) with remote teams in LATAM and the US.

My work is Full Stack, with more time spent on backend systems, APIs, cloud infrastructure and production reliability.

I do best on teams that expect engineers to investigate real production behavior and take part in technical decisions, not just close tickets.

How I work

  1. 01

    I debug from evidence, not assumptions.

  2. 02

    I prefer simple systems before complex abstractions.

  3. 03

    Observability should exist before production fails.

  4. 04

    AI can accelerate engineering, but it does not replace understanding the code.

  5. 05

    I would rather name a trade-off than hide it behind a best practice.
