About

I am a seasoned software engineer from Brazil with over 17 years of experience in developing large-scale solutions. My expertise lies in cloud-native Go and designing high-throughput systems that cater to the needs of various industries such as fintech, telecom, and gaming. At Stone Co., I hold the position of a SR Staff Engineer, where I use unconventional system designs to ensure exceptional delivery and impact on the company's processes and people. I also mentor and sponsor individuals to help them achieve their full potential. In addition to my job, I am a technical reviewer who conducts in-depth evaluations of books and publications. As a passionate community member, I contribute to its growth and development by organizing Go meetups in Curitiba and speaking regularly at major national tech events like GopherCon Brazil.
