About me

I’m a backend software engineer, building reliable, scalable systems in Go since 2018 — a lot of years of hands-on experience by now. I focus on high-traffic APIs, distributed systems, and cloud-native infrastructure, and I care as much about how a service behaves in production as I do about the problem it was built to solve.

As a senior engineer, my job goes beyond writing code: I mentor teammates, review designs, and push for the engineering practices that keep systems resilient as they scale. I also bring AI tooling into my day-to-day work to raise the quality and speed of everything my team ships.

I’ve led teams in past roles, and leadership is a path I’m actively pursuing — my goal is to keep growing into a strong engineering leader and, eventually, a manager.

I’m also an active member of several tech communities and enjoy speaking at and attending events.

Professional

Mercado Libre

( Jan 2024 - NOW ) Senior Software Engineer

I write backend services in Go for a platform that serves millions of customers and handles a huge volume of requests per second. At that scale, reliability, scalability, efficiency, and resilience aren’t nice-to-haves — they’re the bar every service has to clear before it ships.

As the senior engineer on my team, my role goes beyond writing code. I mentor teammates, weigh in on design and architecture decisions, and hold the line on the engineering practices that keep our services stable under heavy, constant load.

AI is also part of how I work day to day. I build custom skills, MCP servers, and well-crafted prompts to get the most out of AI coding tools — so that even the code I don’t write by hand still meets the same bar for quality.

Americanas SA

( Oct 2021 - Dec 2023 ) Devops Software Engineer

Built and maintained an Internal Developer Platform (IDP) for a cloud-native environment, turning it into a self-service hub where developers could build, deploy, and monitor their applications independently.

Designed microservices, REST/RPC APIs, CLIs, and Kubernetes Operators in Go, backed by thorough unit and integration testing, clear documentation, and clean, maintainable code.

Improved security protocols, audit trails, and cost efficiency across the platform’s cloud infrastructure while raising the engineering bar company-wide.

Grew a company-wide engineering community through talks, blog posts, and knowledge-sharing initiatives that helped other developers level up.

StudioSol

( Jul 2019 - Oct 2021 ) Backend / Devops Software Engineer
( Nov 2018 - Jun 2019 ) Backend / Devops Software Engineer intern

Built and maintained high-traffic APIs serving over 50 million users, writing Go code backed by strong unit and integration testing to keep the codebase reliable as it grew.

Worked with SQL databases and multiple caching strategies to cut response times and strengthen system resilience.

Used Grafana, Prometheus, InfluxDB, and APM tooling to track performance and surface issues before they reached users.

Led the design and development of event-driven microservices for mission-critical payment operations, with reliability, scalability, and efficiency as the top priorities.

Aethra Automotive Systems

( Apr 2018 - Nov 2018 ) Software Engineer intern

Built industrial automation tools with Python and OpenCV to streamline processes and reduce errors on the factory floor.

Learned Git and core software engineering practices, and applied them to improve the team’s tooling and development workflow.

Contributed to the design of GUIs, focusing on usability and a user-centered approach.

Graduation

( 2014 - 2019 ) Bachelor in Computer Science at UFMG
