Herik Lima — Software Engineer
Senior C++ Software Engineer | Real-Time Systems | HFT | Trading & High-Performance Applications | high-speed trading systems | high-frequency trading systems | Green Card Holder | GC Holder I'm a Senior C++ Engineer with 13+ years of experience building real-time, low-latency systems across the financial, gaming, and infrastructure sectors. I specialize in high-performance software — the kind that moves real money or real packets in microseconds. I’ve led key projects in algorithmic trading, VPN infrastructure, and machine connectivity for precision agriculture. From reverse-engineering legacy ERPs with no source code to building C++ SDKs that power billion-dollar platforms, my focus is always on performance, reliability, and clean architecture. During my Master's at the University of São Paulo (USP) — a top-tier institution in Latin America known for its academic excellence in Computer Science — I developed a C++ Web Framework focused on modern backend architectures. Currently contributing to Bayer’s FieldView platform via MCSDK (C++/Linux/embedded systems), and sharing my expertise with developers around the world through the C++ MasterClass — a global community I co-founded to teach modern C++ at scale.
