Francisco Zanfranceschi — Software Engineer
As a seasoned Software Engineering Specialist and Solutions Architect with over 18 years of experience, I bring a deep passion for designing and delivering scalable, secure, and innovative technology solutions across the financial, retail, and corporate sectors. Currently at Nubank, I lead critical, high-impact projects end-to-end, shaping architecture and technical strategy to support hundreds of millions of customers worldwide. I thrive in fast-paced environments, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to balance product vision and technical excellence, while mentoring engineers to foster continuous learning and growth. My career journey spans from hands-on full-stack development to software engineering specialist roles at leading organizations such as Walmart, Banco Itaú, Boehringer Ingelheim, Ticket, and others. I have led complex cloud migrations, security initiatives like TOTP authentication and Identity Server, large-scale legacy modernization, BACEN regulatory projects, and national wide knows products such as Nubank's Caixinhas. Known for my problem-solving capacity, I excel in translating business needs into robust technical solutions, guiding teams through change, and driving innovation in distributed and event-driven systems leveraging technologies like Dotnet C#, AWS, RabbitMQ, Clojure, Kafka, and many others. Although many of my roles have focused on designing systems, I truly love getting hands-on with code and turning design into productive runtime! I’m proficient in Clojure, C#, AWS, relational databases (I've worked with quite a few), and have hands-on experience with NoSQL solutions like DynamoDB, MongoDB, and Datomic. I also work with event-driven architectures using tools like Kafka and RabbitMQ. I’m always curious and excited to explore new technologies. Over the years, I’ve also worked with Python, Node.js, PHP, Java, Scala, and a range of front-end tools – some of which I’ve surely forgotten by now. What drives me is the opportunity to learn, build, and solve real-world problems through robust software engineering. I also contribute to the Brazilian software community. I created a highly successful event called “Rinha de Backend”, have written around 100 Twitter threads on software concepts and challenges, and have recently been speaking at tech events and conferences. - https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=rinha+de+backend - https://www.google.com/search?q=rinha+de+backend - https://dev.to/zanfranceschi
