Principal / Staff Software Engineer

I am a Staff Software Engineer and Tech Lead with over 10 years of experience designing, scaling, and modernizing high-throughput distributed systems for banking, enterprise, and mission-critical environments. My expertise lies in Java 17/21, Spring Boot 3, microservices, event-driven architecture, cloud-native platforms, and AWS infrastructure optimization. I have a proven track record of delivering low-latency, fault-tolerant, and high-availability systems processing more than 1 million daily transactions under strict regulatory and SLA constraints.

I specialize in system design, scalability engineering, resiliency, observability, distributed tracing, performance optimization, and technical leadership. Throughout my career, I have led architecture evolution, mentored engineering teams, driven modernization initiatives, and aligned engineering execution with business strategy to deliver impactful results.

In my current role as a Staff Software Engineer and Tech Lead at Minsait (Indra) for Santander Brasil, I lead backend architecture initiatives for high-availability banking systems with 99.9% uptime and strict regulatory compliance. I drive modernization efforts including migrations from Java 11 to newer versions and implement event-driven solutions that significantly reduce system latency.

I am experienced in implementing observability solutions using OpenTelemetry, Grafana, and Dynatrace, which have reduced mean time to recovery by 30%. I also lead production incident response, root cause analysis, and long-term resiliency improvements for distributed systems. Collaboration with cross-functional teams to define technical strategy, architecture governance, and engineering standards is a key part of my role.

Previously, I have worked as a Senior Backend Engineer at BRQ Digital Solutions and Minsait (Indra), where I developed cloud-native Java/Spring Boot services on AWS, applied domain-driven design and hexagonal architecture principles, optimized AWS infrastructure usage, and improved deployment reliability through CI/CD automation. Earlier in my career, I led migrations from monolithic systems to distributed microservices architectures and built scalable backend services supporting enterprise operational workloads with high availability requirements.

I hold a B.Sc. in Systems Analysis and Development from Universidade Metodista de São Paulo and have earned certifications in Spring Framework, Advanced Secure API Development, Oracle Database, and Camunda BPM / Workflow Automation. I am fluent in Portuguese and English and open to global remote opportunities.
